'Incredible' NASA images from world's most powerful telescope show unprecedented views of Jupiter
Planetary astronomer Imke de Pater, who helped lead the observation, said: "We've never seen Jupiter like this. It's all quite incredible.She added: "It's really remarkable that we can see details on Jupiter together with its rings, tiny satellites, and even galaxies in one image."
The fuzzy spots in the lower background of the the wide-field view are the galaxies "photobombing" Jupiter, the space agency said. The infrared images were artificially coloured in blue, white, green, yellow and orange, according to the US-French research team, to make the features stand out. NASA and the European Space Agency's £8.5 billion successor to the Hubble Space Telescope rocketed away at the end of last year and has been observing the cosmos in the infrared since summer - including views of the Cartwheel Galaxy and deepest parts of the universe.
Scientists hope to behold the dawn of the universe with Webb, peering all the way back to when the first stars and galaxies were forming 13.7 billion years ago.
