NASA/JPL An image of Jupiter's Great Red Spot, upper right, and the planet's swirling surface, was taken by the Juno spacecraft on Dec. 30, 2020. NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI In this image of Stephan’s Quintet, a visual grouping of five galaxies from the James Webb Space Telescope, sparkling clusters of millions of young stars and starburst regions of fresh star birth are revealed. Sweeping tails of gas, dust and stars are being pulled from several of the galaxies due to gravitational interactions. Most dramatically, Webb captures huge shock waves as one of the galaxies, NGC 7318B, smashes through the cluster.
