Check out the bright waves, swirls, and vortices in Jupiter’s atmosphere — as well as the dark ring system, one million times fainter than the planet! Two moons of Jupiter, including one that’s only about 12 miles (20 km) across, are on the left.
A wide field view showcases Jupiter in the upper right quadrant. The planet’s swirling horizontal stripes are rendered in blues, browns, and cream. Electric blue auroras glow above Jupiter’s north and south poles. A white glow emanates out from the auroras. Along the planet’s equator, rings glow in a faint white. These rings are one million times fainter than the planet itself! At the far left edge of the rings, a moon appears as a tiny white dot. This moon is only about 12 miles (20 km) across. Slightly further to the left, another moon, about 100 miles (150 km) across, glows with tiny white diffraction spikes. The rest of the image is the blackness of space, with faintly glowing white galaxies in the distance.

1. Make way for the king of the solar system! 👑

New Webb images of Jupiter highlight the planet's features, including its turbulent Great Red Spot (shown in white here), in amazing detail. These images were processed by citizen scientist Judy Schmidt: go.nasa.gov/3K9zMqC
Jupiter dominates the black background of space. The image is a composite, and shows Jupiter in enhanced color, featuring the planet’s turbulent Great Red Spot, which appears white here. The planet is striated with swirling horizontal stripes of neon turquoise, periwinkle, light pink, and cream. The stripes interact and mix at their edges like cream in coffee. Along both of the poles, the planet glows in turquoise. Bright orange auroras glow just above the planet’s surface at both poles.

Webb’s first full-color images are now the world’s to enjoy! We hope you found them as meaningful and beautiful as we did. Here’s to many years of Webb science — we can’t wait to see what’s next as we continue to #UnfoldtheUniverse! go.nasa.gov/3ccf2lf

The supermassive #BlackHole at the center of our Milky Way Galaxy, Sagittarius A*, has been imaged by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT). Chandra and many other telescopes observed Sagittarius A* simultaneously. Explore Sagittarius A* like never before: s.si.edu/OurSMBH ⚫
A composite image of the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy. Pointing to the middle of the main image is an inset image of the region around the "event horizon," the boundary of the black hole from which nothing can escape. In the main image, golden orange specks of light and tendrils of neon purple and blue clouds are set against a black background. The oranges and purples were captured in infrared light by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. The blues represent data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. At the heart of the main image are several bright white dots, including one that contains the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, known as Sagittarius A*. Emerging from this bright white dot is an inset image, housed at our upper right. This image is from the Event Horizon Telescope. It shows a bright, orange ring with three golden yellow spots and a red aura... More at: https://chandra.si.edu/photo/2022/sgra/

Happy #FossilFriday and a very Merycochoerus/Merychyus/Merycoidodon to you! Mery means "ruminant like" in latin so the majority of oreodont names are repetitive and also extremely seasonally appropriate! #Fossils #Paleontology #Science #Geology #Oligocene #Cenozoic #Oreodont
