NASA released new images of Jupiter from its groundbreaking James Webb Space Telescope Thursday. The infrared images are so clear that you can see Jupiter's thin rings and some of its moons.
Scientists are surprised that JWSTNASA has cast its most powerful infrared eye on Jupiter with a new set of images from the James Webb Space Telescope .
JWST can image closer, more familiar objects, too. On Thursday, NASA released a series of new JWST images showing Jupiter in stunning detail. Alongside the gas giant are its moons Europa, Thebe, and Metis. Scientists think Europa has a saltwater ocean, deep below its thick ice crust, which could harbor alien life.

The storm is white in this picture, because of how scientists processed the infrared data the telescope beamed back.
