Uranus has never looked better. NASA recently released the most detailed image of Uranus with bright atmospheric features and dramatic rings. The James Webb Space Telescope captured 11 of the ice giant’s 13 known rings and 27 known moons.
Uranus is characterized as an ice giant because its core is surrounded by “icy” materials of water, methane, and ammonia. Photos of Uranus’ rings had only previously been captured by the Voyager 2 spacecraft as it flew past the planet in 1986.
