Webb Captures a ghostly Neptune! Explaining the New James Webb Space Telescope Image (4K)

The James Webb space telescope has once again turned its powerful gaze towards our solar system, capturing an incredible image of a ghostly Neptune and its elusive, dusty rings in detail not seen for decades. Neptune has fascinated researchers since its discovery in 1846, yet the only spacecraft to have ever visited the distant planet was NASA's Voyager 2 during a flyby in 1989.
In the visible spectrum Neptune appears as a blue orb in front of a black background, but when we look at it in infrared many more incredible features come into view. It's been three decades since we last saw Neptune and its rings in this much stunning detail and clarity. So what can we see in Webb's latest image of the ice giant Neptune?

    Saturn’s rings were the main reason I used to like that planet. In recent years, however, Neptune has become my favorite planet. Despite what we know now with the information we have from _Voyager 2_ and the James Webb Telescope, there’s still so much we have yet to discover. The Great Dark Spot has also been a source of many questions I’d like answered. How did it form and die? How famous is it compared to Jupiter’s Great Red Spot? When was it at its strongest? Triton is yet another bewildering topic. If it was a retrograde dwarf planet once, how did Neptune capture it? What’s the reason for its icy volcanoes? The more answers we get, the more questions we ask. Because of this, science will continue beyond this generation, but that’s okay. More and more discoveries about the Solar System will be unlocked.

    What also gets me is that Neptune's core is as hot as the surface of the sun. It's called an ice giant, but really even a couple hundred kilometers above it's core and we'd be boiled alive. Jupiter's core is even hotter than that. Neptune is awe inspiring and dangerously gorgeous.

    Since Titan rotates opposite from Neptune and Neptune has relatively new rings, could Titan cause another moon to be broken apart, maybe pushing it in an area where it's place and rotation eventually collided with another moon? Will Titans chance go up if it intersect another's moon's orbit and one day might collide with one of the others either destroy that moon or destroys both and making another ring of so titans reflectiveness might make a ring that's easier to see? Who knows maybe this "planet X" could of been the cause of pushing titan over there with Neptune.
