Following in the footsteps of the Neptune image released in 2022, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has taken a stunning image of the solar system’s other ice giant, the planet Uranus. The new image features dramatic rings as well as bright features in the planet’s atmosphere. The Webb data demonstrates the observatory’s unprecedented sensitivity for the faintest dusty rings, which ...

Nine of Uranus’s 27 moons can be seen surrounding the planet in the new image, shining like pearls. Individual astronomers discovered the ice giant’s five largest moons between 1787 and 1948.

Uranus’ dim inner and outer rings are also visible in this image, including the elusive Zeta ring—the extremely faint and diffuse ring closest to the planet. This Webb image also shows 9 of the planet’s 27 moons. They are the blue dots that surround the planet’s rings. Clockwise starting at 2 o’clock, they are: Rosalind, Puck, Belinda ...

A thin outline of Uranus is also white. Around the planet is a system of nested rings. The outermost ring is the brightest while the innermost ring is the faintest. Unlike Saturn’s horizontal rings, the rings of Uranus are vertical and so they appear to surround the planet in an oval shape. There are 9 blueish white dots scattered around the ...

Uranus is the 7th planet from the sun: an ice giant that spins on its side. Webb captured this dynamic world with rings, moons, storms and other atmospheric features, including a seasonal polar cap.

The image of the day is indeed the famous breathtaking image of Uranus that reveals the planet in stunning detail like never before. The image showcases Uranus’s dynamic north polar cap, a feature that stands out in sharp contrast to the planet's surrounding atmosphere. Unlike Earth, where polar ice caps are primarily composed of water,

This image of Uranus from NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope shows the planet and its rings in new clarity. The planet’s seasonal north polar cap gleams in a bright white, and Webb’s exquisite sensitivity resolves Uranus’ dim inner and outer rings, including the Zeta ring—the extremely faint and diffuse ...

NASA has just released new images of Uranus, the seventh planet in our solar system. Captured by JWST, the images show incredible details of the planet and its surrounding rings and moons.

In that April image, 11 of Uranus’s 13 known rings could be seen, but the final two were too faint to show up. Read more Moons around Uranus may suddenly develop atmospheres in the spring

The images of Uranus were taken by NASA's high-powered James Webb Space Telescope and captured the icy planet along with its multiple inner and outer rings, many moons and a seasonal polar cap.
