JWST's first solar system observation was taken during the commissioning phase of the spacecraft, which means that this is the first of its kind.

There has been a tremendous amount of excitement during the release of the first five scientific target images by the JWST team yesterday.

People are eager to get more information, so it is no surprise that they are sharing even test images taken during the commissioning phase now that they want more information.

Some of them include images taken by the Near-Infrared Camera of Jupiter. While the images aren't as dramatic as the processed ones, they do illustrate the telescope's capabilities.

Jupiter's cloud bands, the Great Red Spot, the planet's thin rings, and a couple of its moons are visible in these 75-second exposure images. 

It is worth mentioning that something truly outstanding about this image is that we can see the shadow cast by the moon Europa onto Jupiter, and this is possible thanks to the telescope's sensitivity.

It is rumored that the first full-color image of a solar system target could be released tomorrow, which means that we could see Jupiter as never before in an even more spectacular form.

Future space dwellers will need gravity to survive and thrive. Current space habitat designs are available, but how well they address gravity in space isn't always clear. A team of researchers at Kyoto University has partnered with Kajima Corporation to explore this issue. 

Asahi published a report on Wednesday that described how the company is going to create gravity-defying habitats for use on the Moon and Mars, complete with their transportation system.

“No country has a space development plan like this,” said Yosuke Yamashiki, director of Kyoto University's SIC Human Spaceology Center, during a news conference on July 5.
