– According to the scientists, Jupiter is harder to work with than more distant cosmic wonders because of how fast it rotates

– NASA's telescope has captured giant storms, powerful winds, auroras, and extreme temperature and pressure conditions of the largest planet in the Solar System

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope captured new images of planet Jupiter on Tuesday.

The world's newest and biggest space telescope's Jupiter observations will give scientists even more clues to the planet's inner life.

NASA's telescope has captured giant storms, powerful winds, auroras, and extreme temperature and pressure conditions of the largest planet in the Solar System.

Taking to Twitter, NASA wrote, "Giant news from a giant planet! @NASAWebb captured a new view of Jupiter in infrared light, uncovering clues to the planet’s inner life. Two moons, rings, and distant galaxies are visible".

In the standalone view of Jupiter, auroras extend to high altitudes above both the northern and southern poles of Jupiter.

The auroras shine in a filter that is mapped to redder colors, which also highlights light reflected from lower clouds and upper hazes.

– A different filter, mapped to yellows and greens, shows hazes swirling around the northern and southern poles.

– A third filter, mapped to blues, showcases light that is reflected from a deeper main cloud.

According to the scientists, Jupiter is harder to work with than more distant cosmic wonders because of how fast it rotates.

Combining a stack of images into one view can be challenging when Jupiter’s distinctive features have rotated during the time that the images were taken and are no longer aligned.
