About the Event
The first 18 months of JWST scientific operations have produced a treasure trove of new discoveries for the four giant planets, whilst challenging the community to develop innovative software tools to deal with untested instruments on a brand-new facility. Spectacular NIRCAM images of all four giants have provided new views of their vigorous weather systems, wispy hazes, and ionospheric emissions, and have enabled the tracking of Jupiter’s atmospheric dynamics at previously unseen altitudes, unravelling three-dimensional structure of Jupiter’s atmospheric circulation.
