The James Webb Space Telescope captured the most detailed image of the seventh planet from the Sun, Uranus, showing 11 of the 13 known rings.
a stunning image captured by the James Webb Space Telescope of the planet Uranus, showing the ice giant’s bright features in the planet’s atmosphere and 11 of the 13 known rings.
A zoomed-in image of the planet was captured in a 12-minute exposure using two filters on Feb. 6, 2023.Although this is not the first image of the seventh planet from the sun, it is the most detailed ever captured.Launched into orbit in December 2021, the James Webb Space Telescope is an international venture between NASA, the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency.
The telescope uses its Near Infrared Camera, or NIRCam, to pull back the curtain on some of the telescope’s most popular finds and can see in the ultraviolet part of the spectrum, which humans are not capable of doing.by two other facilities. In 1986, the Voyager 2 spacecraft flew past the planet, and the Keck Observatory has captured images using advanced adaptive optics.
This wider view of the Uranian system with Webb’s NIRCam instrument features the planet Uranus as well as six of its 27 known moons . A handful of background objects, including many galaxies, are also seen.What makes Uranus unique is that it rotates on its side, or as NASA said, roughly 90-degress from its plane of orbit.
