  1. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope provides a revolutionary perspective of Jupiter through high-resolution infrared imaging. By capturing light beyond the visible spectrum, the Near-Infrared Camera reveals the planet's intricate atmospheric dynamics, including high-altitude hazes and the thermal signatures of its iconic Great Red Spot. This specific composite also highlights Jupiter's faint ring system and smaller moons, demonstrating the telescope's immense sensitivity and its ability to resolve faint structures adjacent to brilliant planetary bodies. These observations are vital for studying gas giant composition and meteorological patterns throughout our solar system. #Astronomy #JWST #Jupiter #SpaceScience #InfraredAstronomy

  5. A dying star carved this tangled cloud of gas and dust.

    NGC 6072, captured in infrared by the Webb Space Telescope, shows overlapping disks and outflows that hint at a chaotic past—possibly shaped by a multi-star system.

  6. 📸 Cat's Paw Nebula from JWST

    This stunning nebula, also known as NGC 6334 or the Bear Claw, lies 5,700 light-years away in Scorpius. Captured in infrared by the James Webb Space Telescope, it reveals a turbulent stellar nursery where stars nearly 10 times the Sun’s mass are still forming.

  10. DYK that the general public, you and I, have access to JWST images (within days of their release)?!

    And you can download and process them?

    I just colour processed the Ring Nebula, and holy hell, how is this a real image?! 🤯🤯🤯

    Will write a blog on #SpaceAustralia this weekend on how YOU can also do this - super easy and no tech skills required.

  13. @podfeet good get on this weeks Chit Chat Across the Pond podcast: Dr. Andrea Ghez, only the fourth woman ever to win the Nobel prize in physics! For context: how do we know there's a super massive black hole at the center of our galaxy? Dr. Andrea. That is how.
