sorae – New images of Jupiter from the James Webb Space Telescope released
This is the article that sorae introduced on August 29, 2022 “Jupiter taken by the James Webb Space Telescope on July 27, 2022“ofpseudocolor imageis. The near-infrared camera “NIRCam” installed on the Webb Space Telescope was used for shooting.
The reason why Jupiter looks different from the familiar Jupiter in images such as the Hubble Space Telescope is that the Webb Space Telescope observes mainly at infrared wavelengths.The human eye cannot detect infrared lightTherefore, this image is colored according to the three different filters used during acquisition.
At Jupiter’s north and south poles, red-hued auroras shine high in the sky. The red patches scattered outside the polar regions are sunlight reflected by lower clouds and upper haze. The yellow-green areas surrounding the aurora show the swirling haze around the polar regions. Also, the band of clouds surrounding the equator and the Great Red Spot reflect more sunlight, so they appear white in the image.
