韦伯的NIRCam从三个滤镜——F360M（红色）、F212N（黄绿色）和F150W2（青色）拍摄的木星合成图像，并校准了经因行星自转而形成的误差。 影像来源：NASA, ESA, CSA, Jupiter ERS Team; image processing by Judy Schmidt. 伴随着巨大的风暴、强风、极光以及极端的温度和压力条件，木星发生了很多事情。现在，NASA的詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜捕捉到了这颗行星的新图像。韦伯对木星的观测将为科学家提供更多关于木星内部生命的线索。 “说实话，我们真的没想到它会这么好。”加州大学伯克利分校名誉教授、行星天文学家伊姆克·德·佩特说。德帕特尔与巴黎天文台教授蒂埃里·福切特一起领导了对木星的观测，这是韦伯早期发布科学计划国际合作的一部分。韦伯本身是一项由NASA...
Launched in 1977, the twin Voyager probes are NASA’s longest-operating mission and the only spacecraft ever to explore interstellar space. 45 years on, Voyager 1 and 2 continue to provide us with observations of the farthest reaches of space. Our Voyager 1 spacecraft zoomed toward Jupiter in January and February 1979, capturing hundreds of images of Jupiter ...

As NASA’s Juno mission completed its 43rd close flyby of Jupiter on July 5, 2022, its JunoCam instrument captured this striking view of vortices — hurricane-like spiral wind patterns — near the planet’s north pole. These powerful storms can be over 30 miles (50 kilometers) in height and hundreds of miles across. Figuring out how they form is key to understan...
2022年7月20日 Jupiter and Ring in Infrared from Webb Image Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI; Processing & License: Judy Schmidt Explanation: Why does Jupiter have rings? Jupiter’s main ring was discovered in 1979 by NASA’s passing Voyager 1 spacecraft, but its origin was then a mystery. Data from NASA’s Galileo spacecraft that orbited Jupite...
2022年7月17日 Europa and Jupiter from Voyager 1 Image Credit: NASA, Voyager 1, JPL, Caltech; Processing & License: Alexis Tranchandon / Solaris Explanation: What are those spots on Jupiter? Largest and furthest, just right of center, is the Great Red Spot — a huge storm system that has been raging on Jupiter possibly since Giovanni Cassini’s li...
A new NASA citizen science project, Jovian Vortex Hunter, seeks your help spotting vortices – spiral wind patterns – and other phenomena in photos of the planet Jupiter. Another NASA citizen science project, called Junocam, seeks help from members of the public processing images from NASA’s Juno Mission and choosing targets for the spacecraft. However, the n...
2022年6月17日 Good Morning Planets from Chile Image Credit & Copyright: Elke Schulz (Daniel Verschatse Observatory) Explanation: On June 15, innermost planet Mercury had wandered about as far from the Sun as it ever gets in planet Earth’s sky. Near the eastern horizon just before sunrise it stands over distant Andes mountain peaks in this predawn sna...
