Northern lights and nebulae – Webb telescope transmits impressive images of Jupiter

In the images of Jupiter, which were stitched together from multiple NIRCam images, auroras (aurorae) extend to high altitudes above the planet’s north and south poles. They glow in a filter associated with redder colors, which also emphasizes light reflected from lower clouds and upper haze. Another filter mapped to yellow and green shows veils swirling around the north and south poles. A third filter, assigned to blue, shows light reflected off a deeper main cloud.
