Get a clearest view of Neptune and its rings
NASA has revealed James Webb Space Telescope's capabilities of capturing the clearest pictures of Neptune and its rings. Webb’s latest image is the clearest look at Neptune's rings in 30+ years, and our first time seeing them in infrared light. Take in Webb's ghostly, ethereal views of the planet and its dust bands, rings and moons.” “It has been three decades since we last saw these faint, dusty rings, and this is the first time we’ve seen them in the infrared,” said Heidi Hammel in a NASA release, a Neptune system expert and interdisciplinary scientist for Webb. This is readily apparent in Neptune’s signature blue appearance in Hubble Space Telescope images at visible wavelengths, caused by small amounts of gaseous methane, the statement read.
