Take a look at the rings around Uranus, as seen by the James Webb Space Telescope. This breathtaking image also shows off the distant planet's storms and north polar cap
and its dusty rings have been captured by the James Webb Space Telescope in exquisite detail, along with clouds and a polar cap.are difficult to see with most telescopes because the dark rocks and dust that form them reflect little of the sun’s light. Only two telescopes have imaged the rings directly, one aboard the Voyager 2 spacecraft during a flyby in 1986 and the Earth-based Keck Observatory in Hawaii.
But JWST’s infrared sensors, which captured Uranus in two separate wavelengths, are sensitive enough to pick them up. In all, 11 rings are visible in this image – another two known rings further out were too faint to show up.The JWST is currently taking more detailed follow-ups, in which astronomers hope to see even more atmospheric features and the planet’s final two rings.
