New Colorful Photos of Jupiter Reveal Its Strange Atmosphere Twitter 0 comments NASA’s just released a striking trio of images that capture Jupiter in three different wavelengths of light. The three images, captured by multiple spacecrafts—including NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope—not only dazzle with their vibrant colors, but also offer three separate looks at Jupiter’s atmosphere. It’s a strange place full of lightning bolts, sprites, FM radio signals, and superstorms. Gemini Observatory/NOIRLab, M.H. Wong, et al. The space agency recently released the photos, which Hubble and the Gemini North Observatory in Hawaii captured in 2017. A team of researchers, led by UC Berkeley astronomer Mike Wong, selected the images from a trove produced by the space- and ground-based telescopes. In the latter case, computer algorithms selected exposures most free of distortion from Earth’s own atmosphere.
