'We’re used to seeing jaw-dropping close-ups every six weeks from NASA’s Juno spacecraft currently in orbit, but Webb’s captures are something new.' From jamieacarter, see (and read about) the breathtaking images here:
. Europa’s shadow can be seen to the left of the Great Red Spot. Other visible moons in these images include Thebe and Metis.
That Jupiter’s rings show up in one of Webb’s first solar system images is “absolutely astonishing and amazing,” said Stefanie Milam, Webb’s deputy project scientist for planetary science based at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.“ I couldn’t believe that we saw everything so clearly, and how bright they were ... it’s really exciting to think of the capability and opportunity that we have for observing these kinds of objects in our solar system.
“Combined with the deep field images released the other day, these images of Jupiter demonstrate the full grasp of what Webb can observe, from the faintest, most distant observable galaxies to planets in our own cosmic backyard that you can see with the naked eye from your actual backyard,” said Bryan Holler, a scientist at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, who helped plan these observations.
