ALT An illustration of the Europa Clipper spacecraft passing over the surface of Jupiter's moon Europa. The spacecraft appears small at a distance, with sunlight glinting off its solar panel wings. Europa's surface has rough, blue ice, with a geyser spout. Jupiter rises over the horizon in the background.

ALT Artist's conception of the complex magnetic field environment at Mars. Yellow lines represent magnetic field lines from the Sun carried by the solar wind, blue lines represent Martian surface magnetic fields, white sparks are reconnection activity, and red lines are reconnected magnetic fields that link the surface to space via the Martian magnetotail.

ALT In this Webb image, Neptune resembles a pearl with rings that look like ethereal concentric ovals around it. There are 2 thinner, crisper rings and 2 broader, fainter rings. A few extremely bright patches on the lower half of Neptune represent methane ice clouds. Six tiny white dots, which are six of Neptune’s 14 moons, are scattered among the rings. The background of the image is black.
