World Wide Webb.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ As part of @NASAWebb’s prep for science, we tested how the telescope tracks solar system objects like Jupiter. Webb worked better than expected, and even caught Jupiter’s moon Europa.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ This image is designed for engineering purposes, so it wasn't processed in the same way as our first full-color images this week. ⁣⁣ This is just the beginning of Webb’s data. Stay tuned. webb.nasa.gov⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ALT TEXT⁣⁣: Jupiter dominates the frame, appearing to glow with bands of bright white, light yellow, and darker, brownish oranges. The stripes circle the planet, with one especially thick bright band across the planet’s center. A spot of glowing bright white interrupts the darker brown band about a third from the bottom of the planet. To the left of Jupiter, Europa appears as a tiny, black circle with a bright starburst erupting from its edges. The background of the image is pure black.⁣⁣ Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, and B.
