The stunning image captured by the James Webb Space Telescope on July 27 captured a raw black and white image of Jupiter, the biggest planet in the solar system glowing in the darkness of deep space. (NASA)

The image was captured by the telescope's Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) instrument on July 27, which highlighted the planet's unique features. The image highlights the planet's massive storm, the Great Red Spot, as well as bands in the atmosphere of the planet. The image as well as the observations made by the JWST telescope are designed to help scientists understand the atmosphere and planet's thermal structure and layers to study phenomena like winds and auroras.

Just two weeks ago, the James Webb Space Telescope shared an image of a galaxy called GLASS-z13, the ‘then' oldest galaxy which was estimated to be just 300 million years after the Big Bang. If that was not amazing enough, the telescope found yet another galaxy that is even older just a week later! (Dr. James O'Donoghue/Twitter)

According to the Space.com report, the photo is the result of Webb's NIRCam focused at Jupiter for nearly 11 minutes while using the F212N filter, which observes light with a wavelength of 2.12 microns, most of the length of a common bacterium. (AP)

The report further mentioned that based on the preliminary schedule by the operator of the James Webb Telescope, the Space Telescope Science Institute, next week, NASA's telescope will target Jupiter's volcanic moon Io, the large asteroid Hygeia and the supernova remnants Cassiopeia A. With the help of images sent by the James Webb Space Telescope, researchers have been able to identify 55 distant galaxies as of now, where 44 of them are claimed to have never been observed before.
