Video animation from Mars orbit. The scene is dominated by a massive Martian volcano at the top of the frame, its caldera forming a wide depression surrounded by gentle flanks. To the right, a large dust storm drifts away from the volcano. The terrain shows rusty red tones. Phobos the potato-shape satellite of Mars, passes across the bottom of the frame, appearing very dark grey compared to the martian surface.

A wide view of the planet Mars fills the frame, shown as a curved, rust-colored world against black space. The bottom edge fades into darkness, marking the planet’s night side, while the upper portion is brightly lit by sunlight. Near the right side are three large, round volcanic mountains of the Tharsis region, each with a wide circular base and a darker central caldera, resembling shallow craters pressed into the surface. North of these volcanoes, stretching almost vertically across the upper right half of the planet, lies Noctis Labyrinthus and Valles Marineris: an immense system of deep canyons and fractured terrain that appears as pale, branching scars and cracks, partly softened by hazy, cloud-like atmospheric features. Near the center of the image, positioned between the volcanoes and the canyon system, a small dark oval appears against Mars’s surface. This is Phobos, one of Mars’s satellites. Its tiny size stands out sharply against the vast scale of the planet below.

The image is divided into four sections, each showing one of the gas giants against a black background as seen by JWST. Filters are near infrared and have been colorised. Top left: Jupiter. It appears as a large, round sphere with horizontal bands in shades of light brown, tan, and white. A bright white oval storm sits on the lower right side. A faint ring is visible alongside Europa, one of its satellites, which appears very bright with a star-shaped artifact. Top right: Saturn. It has a pale beige surface with soft horizontal shading. Surrounding it is a wide, bright ring system tilted diagonally. The rings look thin and sharply defined, with multiple subtle bands of light and dark. Bottom left: Uranus. It appears as a smooth blue-green sphere with some whitish circular clouds around the pole that is facing the observer. Surrounding it is a bright circular ring system made up of thin white lines. The rings form a bright, symmetrical halo around the planet. Bottom right: Neptune. It is a blue sphere with slightly brighter and darker circular features on its atmosphere. It also has a thin ring system, dimmer and less defined than Uranus’s in this image, appearing as a faint double oval around the planet. Each planet has its name printed below it in white capital letters.
