(From https://science.nasa.gov/missions/webb/nasas-webb-reveals-unusual-jets-of-volatile-gas-from-icy-centaur-29p/) An artist’s concept of Centaur 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1’s outgassing activity as seen from the side. While prior radio-wavelength observations showed a jet of gas pointed toward Earth, astronomers used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to gather additional insight on the front jet’s composition and noted three more jets of gas spewing from Centaur 29P’s surface.
