James Webb Telescope Reveals Spectacular New View of Uranus in 4K

TL;DR Summary
NASA's James Webb telescope captured a new image of Uranus in February, providing a detailed look at the planet's faint, rarely photographed rings and unique axis. The image shows bright features in the planet's atmosphere, likely related to typical storm activity, and a subtle brightening near the Uranian north pole. The planet's extreme tilt makes it the only planet to rotate almost completely on its side, with its poles located on its sides, giving it the appearance of a ball rolling around the sun.
