Astronomers operating the James Webb Space Telescope have been sharing dramatic close-up images of Jupiter. You can even see its rings. Jaw-dropping images of Jupiter from the James Webb Space ...
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.
The most detailed map of Jupiter in existence, according to Nasa. This picture well illustrates the rings of Jupiter, as well as the south pole (which I didn't know existed). It says on the Nasa page that it is the most detailed map of Jupiter ever made. It was constructed with images taken by Cassini, and appears in the article Jupiter. The ...
While its surface brightness is much less than that of the main ring, its vertically (perpendicular to the ring plane) integrated photon flux is comparable due to its much larger thickness. Despite a claimed vertical extent of more than 20 000 km , the halo's brightness is strongly concentrated towards the ring plane and follows a power law of ...
Jupiter has been visited by automated spacecraft since 1973, when the space probe Pioneer 10 passed close enough to Jupiter to send back revelations about its properties and phenomena. [ 168 ] [ 169 ] Missions to Jupiter are accomplished at a cost in energy, which is described by the net change in velocity of the spacecraft, or delta-v .
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.
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.
1979 – Voyager 1 flies by Jupiter and discovers its faint ring system, as well as volcanoes on Io, the innermost of its Galilean moons. [201] 1979 – Voyager 2 flies by Jupiter and discovers evidence of an ocean under the surface of its moon Europa. [202] 1980 – Voyager 1 flies by Saturn and takes the first images of Titan. [203]
