NASA’s James Webb Telescope has captured a stunning image of the seventh planet in our solar system, highlighting 11 out of the 13 rings surrounding Uranus. 

‘Only Voyager 2 and Keck (with adaptive optics) have imaged the planet’s faintest rings before, and never as clearly as Webb’ wrote NASA.

A second image captures Uranus’ moons, of which there are a total of 27. Most of them are too small and faint to capture, but the 6 brightest ones are made visible – Puck, Umbriel, Miranda, Oberon, Titania and Ariel. 

The surrounding lights in the second image are actually other galaxies in the background!
