Now, NASA’s powerful infrared observatory is providing breathtaking views of our own cosmic neighborhood in snapshots released on Monday.

Jupiter images taken on July 27 show the planet’s turbulent atmosphere, including the gas giant’s Great Red Spot – a massive storm that has been swirling for centuries – and other storm systems.

The telescope also revealed Jupiter’s thin rings made of debris dust, visible auroras at the planet’s northern and southern poles, and two of Jupiter’s moons, Amalthea and Adrastea. According to NASA, the fuzzy spots in the background are galaxies.

Often described as the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, Webb launched on 25 December 2021, after more than two decades of development. The $10 billion telescope has traveled more than a million miles from Earth and is now in a gravitationally stable orbit, collecting infrared light.

Webb is able to see far into the past, to the first 400 million years after the Big Bang, by collecting infrared light, which is invisible to the human eye.

Webb used its Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) filter to capture the new Jupiter images.

Auroras are colorful light displays that are not unique to Earth. According to NASA, Jupiter has the brightest auroras in the solar system.

Auroras occur on both Earth and Jupiter when charged particles, such as protons or electrons, interact with the magnetic field that surrounds a planet, known as the magnetosphere. Jupiter’s magnetic field is approximately 20,000 times stronger than that of Earth.

This one image sums up the science of our Jupiter system program, which studies the dynamics and chemistry of Jupiter itself, its rings, and its satellite system," Thierry Fouchet, an astronomy professor at the Paris Observatory who led the observations, said in a statement.

Raw data collected during the telescope’s commissioning period, before its science operations officially started on July 12, also included an image of Jupiter.

"Combined with the deep field images released the other day, these images of Jupiter demonstrate the full grasp of what Webb can observe, from the faintest, most distant observable galaxies to planets in our own cosmic backyard that you can see with the naked eye from your actual backyard," Bryan Holler, a scientist at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, who helped plan the observations, said in a statement in July.NASA’s Artemis 1 moon rocket headed back to the launch pad Tuesday night (Aug. 19) to take a step closer to a historic lunar mission.

Artemis 1 is an uncrewed test flight of the massive Space Launch System (SLS) megarocket and its Orion spacecraft, and it began rolling out to a Kennedy Space Center launch pad around 10 p.m. EDT (0200 GMT Wednesday, Aug. 17). It had arrived at its destination by 7:30 a.m. EDT.

The Orion, stacked atop the rocket, began its 10-hour journey from the KSC’s Vehicle Assembly Building. The crawler transporting the Artemis 1 hardware had to travel at 1 to 2 miles per hour to Launch Pad 39B. (1.6 to 3.2 km/h).NASA chose to launch the rocket two days earlier than planned. The team completed flight termination system testing, the last major activity required before the rocket was closed out and the final access platforms at the VAB were retracted, according to the agency’s

NASA has not provided a detailed schedule for the rollout, which is expected to take between 8 and 11 hours depending on weather, road conditions, and other technical issues.

The uncrewed mission’s blastoff is scheduled for no earlier than August 29, and will take the Orion spacecraft around the moon to test the vehicle’s system for future human missions. There will be several webcasts of the science and other technology on board the mission in between.

NASA hopes to launch an Artemis 2 mission to orbit the moon with humans on board as early as 2024, followed by an Artemis 3 landing mission in 2025.

JWST, a telescope so powerful that it makes Hubble look like someone smeared their thumb on the lens, has already taken a long first look at the TRAPPIST-1 system, which will excite exoplanet fans.

Using publicly available data from the JWST, Redditor arizonaskies2022 was able to piece together the first image of the star, potentially while one of its planets was transiting it, though this has not yet been confirmed.

"Both images are public raw data files I found and downloaded from MAST website," Arizonaskies2022 explained on the JWST subreddit. "I did minimal processing neither image is cropped just a little stretch and color."

TRAPPIST-1

intrigues astronomers for a variety of reasons, including the fact that it has seven roughly Earth-sized planets orbiting it, three of which are in the habitable zone. The ultra-cool red dwarf is only 40 light-years away from us, making it easier to study, and it may even contain large amounts of water.

Now that JWST is pointed at it, we may be able to learn more about the planets’ atmospheres, if they have any at all.

"Our goal," principal investigator of a JWST program surveying four of the seven TRAPPIST-1 planets, Olivia Lim, told The Planetary Society, "is to tell whether the planets TRAPPIST-1b, c, g, and h have an atmosphere or not, and to do that, we will try to detect features of molecules such as carbon dioxide, water, and ozone in the transit spectra of those planets."

The findings of these studies

will not only tell us about TRAPPIST-1 and its planets, but they may also help us make educated guesses about other solar systems and where to look for life. For example, if we discovered that rocky planets closer to the star were devoid of atmosphere, possibly due to solar flares from their host stars, we could narrow down in what positions in solar systems are more likely to harbor life.

"This system provides an opportunity to test the concept of the habitable zone outside of the Solar System," co-investigator of a JWST program that will observe TRAPPIST-1h, Jacob Lustig-Yaeger, added to The Planetary Society.

"TRAPPIST-1 is so different from the Sun, and the planets orbit so close to it, that it’s likely that there will be many surprises in our study of this system, and our efforts to understand these surprises will push forward the boundaries of planetary science."

More data and images from teams studying the system are expected soon. Until then, this is our best look at an extraordinary system and one of our best candidates for finding life.Yesterday NASA announced one of the most significant discoveries of potentially habitable planets in recent years – The first known system of seven planets the size of Earth orbiting a Star. Three of those planets certainly are in the habitable zone – the area where a rocky planet could have liquid water.

This discovery sets a new record for the largest number of planets in the habitable zone around a single Star outside the solar system. All seven of these planets can have liquid water – the key to life as we know it in the right weather conditions, but the probability is greatest with three located in the habitable zone."This discovery could be a significant piece of the puzzle for the discovery of habitable environments, places that contribute to the existence of life – says Thomas Tsurbuhen of scientific Directorate at NASA in Washington at a press conference on the occasion of the discovery.

"The answer to the question" Are we alone [in the Universe] "is among the top priorities of science and discovery of so many planets like these for the first time in the habitable zone is a remarkable step towards this goal."

NASA scientists called newly discovered space object "sister of the solar system." The star around which circle the Earth-like planet is called TRAPPIST-1 and is located 39 light years away from us. It is much younger than the Sun and its system will continue to exist long after the destruction of our own.. At least six of the planets are rocky, and their surface temperatures are in the cozy range between 0 and 100 ° C.

A team of astronomers led by Michel Guillon from the University of Liege, Belgium, was first detected three exoplanets in March 2016 with the help of ground-based telescopes. Later on, thanks to Spitzer Space Telescope have discovered other planets.Up until now, NASA has never paid too much attention to Uranus – but now the space agency wants to take a good, long look. And one of the things it might be investigating is all that gas.

A NASA team proposed four missions to the ice giants Uranus and Neptune, including three orbiters and a fly-by of Uranus.

According to New Scientist, the planned probes would launch in the 2030s.

One of the proposed missions

is a fly-by of Uranus with a narrow-angle camera and a probe that would drop into Uranus’ atmosphere to measure gas and heavy elements.

There are four proposed missions: three orbiters and a fly-by of Uranus with a narrow-angle camera to capture details, especially of the ice giant’s moons. It would also release an atmospheric probe into Uranus’ atmosphere to measure the levels of gas and heavy elements.

Has Uranus been probed?

In January 1986, NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft flew close to Uranus, the seventh planet from the Sun.

On January 24, 1986, the spacecraft was 81,500 kilometers (50,600 miles) from Uranus’ cloudtops.

Voyager 2 transmitted thousands of images and large amounts of scientific data about Uranus, its moons, rings, atmosphere, interior, and magnetic environment.

Since its launch on August 20, 1977, Voyager 2’s route has taken the spacecraft to Jupiter in July 1979, Saturn in August 1981, and then to Uranus. Voyager 2’s next encounter was with Neptune in August 1989. Both Voyager 2 and its twin Voyager 1 eventually left our solar system and entered interstellar space.

Images from Voyager 2

of Uranus’ five largest moons revealed complex surfaces indicative of varying geologic pasts. The cameras also discovered ten previously unknown moons.Several instruments explored the ring system, revealing fine details of previously known rings as well as two newly discovered rings.

According to Voyager data, the planet rotates at a rate of 17 hours and 14 minutes.

The spacecraft also discovered a large and unusual Uranian magnetic field. Furthermore, the temperature of the equatorial region, which receives less sunlight during the Uranian year, is roughly the same as that of the poles.
