On July 12, 2022 NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope captured Jupiter with moon Europa in 4K UHD video animation format. Telescope's data started to be available for public scientists. Webb started tracking of solar system targets and produce images and spectra with unprecedented detail. A view from the NIRCam instrument’s short-wavelength filter shows distinct bands that encircle the planet as well as the Great Red Spot. First animation from JWST was taken and it is amazing. JWST used equipment to made these images: Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI).
