Following the release of the “Galaxy Center” image last month, NASA then released a new “Uranus” image taken by the Webb Space Telescope. To capture this image, scientists used the James Webb Telescope’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam), which allowed them to clearly see these inner and outer rings composed of former moons and dust debris, including the faint Zeta ring. This image also shows 9 of Uranus’ 27 moons, some of which are located within the ring system and Uranus’ Polar Cap.

“The most striking of these is Uranus’ seasonal North Polar Cloud Cap,” NASA said in a statement. “Compared with images from earlier this year, the new image makes it easier to see details of the rings, including the bright white inner ring and the The black line underneath the Polar Cap.”

“Uranus” has a peculiar chemical composition, extreme temperatures and an unusual axial tilt. It is the seventh closest cyan planet to the sun in the solar system. It is an ice giant planet with an average distance of 2.9 billion kilometers from the earth.
