WEBB PING!.......................
Jupiter may look beautiful, but she’ll kill your dead if you go there. That’s vaguely familiar for some reason…
Interesting that the banding does not show up in the thermal IR image
The ring, OTOH, is much more noticeable in the thermal image.
I wish I was young enough to train to be a space explorer and planet settler.
That’s amazing.......two pancakes, the one on the right has poppy seeds.....seriously it’s awesome that we can get that close to other planets. Good job!
I still think some of the pix taken by Hubbel of Saturn are some of the most incredible photos ever taken, anywhere.
Stared at it for 10 seconds. I’m done.
I have seen better pictures of Jupiter from the JUNO spacecraft. Much better picture quality and colors.
Part of the test was ensuring that JWST could track fast-moving objects through the Solar System.

Like extra-solar ‘objects’ ...
They looked at the pictures from Jupiter, and immediately called the cops!
So where’s Carl Sagan?
But if you thought that was wild, then wait for this: it turns out JWST has also dropped some stealthy images of Jupiter! And they’re ridiculously beautiful.

Is every article being written by a millennial who’s affecting 1980’s Valley Girl speak?
Get a life.
I like this older picture much better.
The image on the right, monkey pox?
One thing I observed yesterday while watching the NASA presentation.
The same guy producing the Jan. 6 hearings must’ve done the big NASA show yesterday, too. It wasn’t a very smooth presentation- stiff speakers, there were two ladies from Canada who they went to for something, but their audio wasn’t working so they cut their feed, and didn’t go back to them, either.
Jupiter
It’s a gas gas gas
Excellent!
Fantastic engineering, production, and operation...
Now, let’s hope that the science, over the next few years, will be just as stunning...
While the JWST experimental device is brilliant in its conception and implementation, it is the caliber of today’s computer-addicted scientists that gives me a little concern...
The past 40-years of scientific drought in the fundamental sciences has been driven, in part, by scientists who rely on stumbling onto something from extensive computer analyses rather than original thought generated between their ears...
