ALT Side-by-side images of asteroid Dimorphos as taken by the DART mission (left) as well as the Didymos-Dimorphos asteroid system after impact from DART, as taken by the Hubble (top right) and Webb (bottom right) telescopes. DART’s view shows a close-up of the gray, rocky surface of the asteroid. Hubble’s view, colorized blue, looks like wispy blue streaks emanating from a glowing bluish white core. Webb’s view, colorized red, is positioned towards the bottom right of its frame. The core glows a reddish white, with red plumes spreading out from the center.
ALT A wide field view showcases Jupiter in the upper right quadrant. The planet’s swirling horizontal stripes are rendered in blues, browns, and cream. Electric blue auroras glow above Jupiter’s north and south poles. A white glow emanates out from the auroras. Along the planet’s equator, rings glow in a faint white. These rings are one million times fainter than the planet itself! At the far left edge of the rings, a moon appears as a tiny white dot. This moon is only about 12 miles (20 km) across. Slightly further to the left, another moon, about 100 miles (150 km) across, glows with tiny white diffraction spikes. The rest of the image is the blackness of space, with faintly glowing white galaxies in the distance.
