The James Webb Telescope took several pictures in July, catching images of Jupiter's northern and southern lights.
Jupiter's Great Red Pill is marked with splendor along with countless smaller storms. A broad - field picture is especially dramatic, showing the pale rings around the planet as well as two small moons against a brilliant background of galaxies.
We've never seen Jupiter like this. It's all incredible,” said planetary astronomer Imke de Pater, from the University of California, Berkeley.
Infrared images were artificially painted in blue, white, green, yellow and orange, according to the American-French research team, to make features stand out.
