Home > Science Webb Telescope Spots Rings Around Uranus Humanity's most powerful telescope can see incredibly distant objects, but it's not bad at seeing what's next door, either.

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.

Following up on its image of Neptune released last year, astronomers using Webb have just released a brand-new image of Uranus as you've never seen it before.

It’s possible that the dark rings around Neptune and Uranus were once larger and brighter, similar to how Saturn’s rings are now, the researchers said.

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a new stunning image of ice giant Uranus, with almost all its faint dusty rings on display. The image is representative of the telescope's significant ...

Rings have formed in the solar system around massive planets like Saturn and Uranus, but also dwarf planets, and at distances from the planet previously thought to be impossible.

Scientists didn't know about Uranus' inner rings until the Voyager 2 flyby, but Webb can make them out thanks to its powerful Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) instrument.
