The formation of the larger set of waves can be explained if the ring was impacted by a cloud of particles released by the comet with a total mass on the order of 2–5 × 10 12 kg, which would have tilted the ring out of the equatorial plane by 2 km. [24] A similar spiraling wave pattern that tightens over time [25] has been observed by ...

Webb's new images of Jupiter showcase its auroras, rings, and extremely faint galaxies, which Hubble can't see. Side-by-side Jupiter images show James Webb's infrared prowess.
Its diameter is eleven times that of Earth, and a tenth that of the Sun. Jupiter orbits the Sun at a distance of 5.20 AU (778.5 Gm), with an orbital period of 11.86 years. It is the third-brightest natural object in the Earth's night sky , after the Moon and Venus , and has been observed since prehistoric times .
Just recently on the blog I posted a series of images of Jupiter taken by JWST, some of which showed Jupiter’s faint ring. I don’t think a lot of people know that all four giant planets in our ...
English: Diagram of Jupiter, its interior, surface features, rings, and inner moons. A 3D renderer was used to make the skeleton for this picture so everything is drawn to scale (except the aurorae). F-stop used is estimated at f/0.308. Sources: 1, 2, 3, and the wikipedia articles Jupiter & Rings of Jupiter.
This photo, and many other images that have been released from Juno's extended mission, employs color enhancement to help visualize the depth between the layers of clouds in Jupiter's deep atmosphere.
