Pan of Uranus (NIRCam)
Ғылым және технология
This image of Uranus from NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) on the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope shows the planet and its rings in new clarity. The planet’s seasonal north polar cap gleams in a bright white, and Webb’s exquisite sensitivity resolves Uranus’ dim inner and outer rings, including the Zeta ring-the extremely faint and diffuse ring closest to the planet.
This Webb image also shows 14 of the planet’s 27 moons: Oberon, Titania, Umbriel, Juliet, Perdita, Rosalind, Puck, Belinda, Desdemona, Cressida, Ariel, Miranda, Bianca, and Portia.
One day on Uranus is about 17 hours, so the planet’s rotation is relatively quick. This makes it supremely difficult for observatories with a sharp eye like Webb to capture one simple image of the entire planet - storms and other atmospheric features, and the planet’s moons, move visibly within minutes. This image combines several longer and shorter exposures of this dynamic system to correct for those slight changes throughout the observing time.
Webb’s extreme sensitivity also picks up a smattering of background galaxies-most appear as orange smudges, and there are two larger, fuzzy white galaxies to the right of the planet in this field of view.

Until you smeel it
hehe..
Never looked at Uranus through the most expensive Tik Tok filter of all time.
🌌Nunca Me Fijé En Urano Cómo Un Planeta Tan Bello 🥰🌌
I love our solar system ❤
Lindo demais, que coisa perfeita não vejo a hora do homem descobrir algo que faça o ser humano viajar na velocidade da luz.
Looks like a stuck door bell button 😏🤔 eerie

Yeah. There are 14 moons, a few orange smudges sprinkled around of distant ones and 2 brighter galaxies to the right.
😲😲😲👍🇭🇷
Lol
IMaging planets with JWST is an appalling waste of time and money. Planets are for sending spacecraft to. JWST is for deep space.

That sounds silly asf. We can still learn a lot.

We don't have any probe at Uranus and chances of sending one before 2040 are slim. So, astronomers need to use whatever is avaliable to them.

They point it at the planet for like a minute. Is that time so precious?
