A super Jupiter has been spotted around a neighboring star by the Webb Space Telescope — and it has a super orbit. The planet is roughly the same diameter as Jupiter, but with six times the mass.
Auroras, storms, and more spectacular cosmic images of the planet Jupiter have been captured by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. Webb Space Telescope Reveals New Out-Of-This-World Look at ...

Jupiter's rotation is the fastest of all the Solar System's planets, completing a rotation on its axis in slightly less than ten hours; this creates an equatorial bulge easily seen through an amateur telescope. Because Jupiter is not a solid body, its upper atmosphere undergoes differential rotation.
Many modern telescopes and observatories are located in space to observe astronomical objects in wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum that cannot penetrate the Earth's atmosphere (such as ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays) and are thus impossible to observe using ground-based telescopes.

Astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to newly detect a high-speed jet stream over the equator of Jupiter. Webb telescope spots never-before-seen feature in Jupiter’s atmosphere Skip ...
Each panel consists of three primary mirror segments and had to be folded to allow the space telescope to be installed in the fairing of the Ariane rocket for the launch of the telescope. On 7 January 2022, NASA deployed and locked in place the port-side wing, [207] and on 8 January, the starboard-side mirror wing. This successfully completed ...
