The Ring Around Jupiter
Posted in Astronomy at 20:00 on 24 July 2022
It’s not often you see an image of Jupiter’s ring.
This picture (from Astronomy Picture of the Day for 20/7/22) though shows both planet and ring in infra-red light as captured by the James Webb Telescope.
Also prominent is the Great Red Spot as a bright white feature in infra-red and the moon Europa at the centre of a large diffraction spike.
