今天我們要來說說一顆很特別的行星,它叫做木星!最近,科學家們用一個叫做James Webb Space Telescope(簡稱Webb)的超級天文望遠鏡,拍到了木星的圖片。這些圖片是用紅外線拍攝的,讓我們可以看到木星上不同顏色的雲,像是高高的亮雲和低低的暗雲。其中,最著名的就是那個叫做大紅斑的雲,它可是個巨大的旋風呢!在圖片中,我們還能看到木星的光環、南北極的閃亮極光,還有它的小衛星,像是Amalthea和Adrastea。你知道嗎?那顆叫做Io的衛星還會把神奇的能量送到木星的南極光上!有些地方亮得非常,光線會繞過望遠鏡,形成奇妙的光影。Webb這顆望遠鏡,擁有超過六米大小的巨大鏡子,是人類發射過的最大的天文望遠鏡,能收集到比哈勃望遠鏡多六倍的光呢!我們可以通過這些圖片,更好地了解宇宙中的秘密哦!
原文:
This infrared view of Jupiter by Webb is illuminating. High-resolution infrared images of Jupiter from the James Webb Space Telescope (Webb) reveal, for example, differences between high-floating bright clouds — including the Great Red Spot — and low-lying dark clouds. Also clearly visible in the featured Webb image are Jupiter’s dust ring, bright auroras at the poles, and Jupiter’s moons Amalthea and Adrastea. The footprint of large volcanic moon Io’s magnetic funneling of charged particles onto Jupiter is also visible in the southern aurora. Some objects are so bright that light noticeably diffracts around Webb’s optics creating streaks. Webb, which orbits the Sun near the Earth, has a mirror over six meters across making it the largest astronomical telescope ever launched — with over six times more light-collecting area than Hubble.
