The James Webb Space Telescope has captured an amazing image of the ice giant Uranus showing its ring system, bright moons and changing atmosphere. ... A zoomed-in image of Uranus as seen by the ...
A zoomed-in image of Uranus captured by the James Webb Space Telescope. Eleven of the planet's 13 rings are visible, though some are so bright they appear to blend into one ring.
Webb’s infrared image highlights the planet’s dramatic rings and dynamic atmosphere. Following in the footsteps of the Neptune image released in 2022, the NASA/ESA/CSA 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 image exquisitely captures Uranus’s seasonal north polar cap, including the bright, white, inner cap and the dark lane in the bottom of the polar cap. 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 ...
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 ...
This zoomed-in false-color image of Uranus, captured by the James Webb Space Telescope’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) on Feb. 6, 2023, reveals stunning views of the planet’s rings.
On view in the new image are storms, rings, moons and a gleaming polar ice cap. Uranus is unique among the planets for orbiting on its side—with an axial tilt of about 98 degrees, it hosts the ...

Uranus and its rings shine in vibrant glory in new images captured by the ultra-powerful James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Utilising the extreme sensitivity on the telescope, NASA was able to ...
This Webb image exquisitely captures the seasonal north polar cap of Uranus, including the bright, white, inner cap and the dark lane in the bottom of the polar cap. 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.
Others will use the data to measure Uranus’ rings, its atmospheric turbulence, and its precise orbit around the Sun.” ... This image of Uranus from NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope exquisitely captures Uranus’s seasonal north polar cap and dim inner and outer rings. This Webb image also shows 9 of the ...
Going, Going, Gone: Hubble Captures Uranus's Rings on Edge This series of images from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope shows how the ring system around the distant planet Uranus appears at ever more oblique (shallower) tilts as viewed from Earth – culminating in the rings being seen edge-on in three observing opportunities in 2007.
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. (Image credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI)
Following in the footsteps of the Neptune image released in 2022, the NASA/ESA/CSA 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 demonstrate the observatory’s unprecedented sensitivity by revealing the faintest dusty ...
In a sequel to its image of the planet Neptune’s rings in September 2022, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has taken a new image of the ice giant Uranus.The new view of the seventh planet ...
The image expands upon a two-colour version released earlier this year, adding additional wavelength coverage for a more detailed look. With its exquisite sensitivity, Webb captured Uranus’ dim inner and outer rings, including the elusive Zeta ring—the extremely faint and diffuse ring closest to the planet.
Uranus' Rings JWST has taken a stunning image of Uranus and its rings, as well as clouds, and the polar cap. Uranus has 13 known rings 11 of which are visible in this image. Only two other facilities - the Voyager 2 spacecraft during its flyby of the planet in 1986, and the Keck Observatory using advanced adaptive optics - have been able to capture images of these rings.
