Jupiter from the Webb Space Telescope
The Webb Space Telescope captured this infrared view of Jupiter. High-resolution images show differences between high, bright clouds, including the Great Red Spot, and low, dark clouds. Jupiter's dust ring and bright auroras at the poles are also clearly visible. The moons Amalthea and Adrastea appear in the image.
