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鈥檚 in this image, appearing as a faint double oval around the planet.

Each planet has its name printed below it in white capital letters.
