Incredible Photos Show a Side of Jupiter Never Seen Before, Including Storms and Auroras

Jupiter has a new face thanks to a breathtaking new image taken by NASA's James Webb Telescope.

Incredible photos show the giant planet in never-before-seen detail, revealing the complexity of its climatic conditions.

Experts said the planet was "a lot going" with storms and severe temperatures when the images were released on Monday.

A statement said: "With giant storms, powerful winds, auroras and extreme temperature and pressure conditions, Jupiter has a lot to do

"Now the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has captured new images of the planet. Webb's observations of Jupiter will give scientists even more clues about Jupiter's inner life."

The latest images were unveiled by the observatory's near-infrared camera (NIRCam), which has three specialized infrared filters that show detail on the planet.

He unveiled an image of Jupiter as it floats through space, surrounded by stars and fuzzy specks that could be galaxies that have crept into the frame.

The view not only shows Jupiter, but also its faint rings, which are a million times fainter than the planet, and its two tiny moons named Adrastea and Amalthea.

Scientists working on the telescope collaborated with citizen scientist Judy Schmidt to process images that were stitched together from multiple snapshots of Jupiter.

Jupiter's "Great Red Spot" is also visible in the image although it is bright white due to the large amount of light reflecting off it and other clouds.
