Another amazing image brought to you by the James Webb Space Telescope.
The James Webb Space Telescope keeps on delivering out-of-this-world images of our solar system. Just six months after it captured striking images of Neptune and its rings, the telescope has some new photos of Neptune’s planetary neighbor Uranus. And, once again, the telescope gave scientists something unexpected: a clear image of Uranus’ rings!
The first came from the spacecraft Voyager 2 back in January 1986, according to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. During its time in Uranus’ orbit, Voyager 2 transmitted thousands of images that showcased two new rings and 11 new moons orbiting the planet. But, even with the best technology of the time, those images of Uranus’ rings cannot compare with the ones from James Webb Space Telescope.
