Models present creations by Karl Lagerfeld for his autumn/winter 2018-2019 ready-to-wear collection for Chanel at the Grand Palais during Paris fashion week. Lagerfeld has been criticised by environmentalists after reportedly chopping down several old oak and poplar trees for the Chanel catwalk show. Campaigners said the grand couturier’s attempt to present Chanel’s green credentials had backfired badly and revealed the fashion house was “completely divorced from the reality of protecting nature”.

This composite image, derived from data collected by the Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper instrument (Jiram) aboard Nasa’s Juno mission to Jupiter, shows the central cyclone at the planet’s north pole and the eight cyclones that encircle it. Jiram collects data in infrared, and the colours in this composite represent radiant heat. The new findings, based on high-precision gravitational measurements, show that Jupiter’s iconic striped bands, caused by immensely powerful winds, extend to a depth of about 3,000km below the surface.
