Webb captures stunning image of Uranus' rings.

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a stunning infrared image of Uranus, highlighting the planet's dramatic rings and dynamic atmosphere. The image shows bright features in the planet's atmosphere and demonstrates the observatory's unprecedented sensitivity for the faintest dusty rings. Uranus has 13 known rings, and 11 of them are visible in this image. The sensitivity and longer wavelengths of Webb's Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) have revealed a subtle enhanced brightening at the center of the polar cap, which is unique to Uranus. The image is just the tip of the iceberg of what Webb can do when observing this mysterious planet.
