James Webb Telescope Captures Detailed Image of Uranus’ Rings
https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/james-webb-telescope-captures-detailed-image-of-uranus-rings-180981953/ https://astronomy.com/~/media/6C900BD881D743EEB6C19F4650BEEF95.jpg When Voyager 2 flew by, it saw Uranus’ south pole basking in a summer sun, and the northern pole, captured by Webb, was on the planet’s dark side. In the new image, Uranus’ right side is covered by a white spot called a polar cap, which seemingly appears in the summer and disappears in the fall. Webb orbits the sun from a point one million miles from Earth, but it’s just in our backyard compared to some of its far-off targets—the high-tech telescope has observed exoplanets, dying stars and distant galaxies that are changing ideas about the early universe. The new image of Uranus, snapped during a 12-minute exposure on February 6, was taken when Earth was 1.83 billion miles from the ringed planet A wider view of the image shows the six brightest of Uranus’ 27 moons with other galaxies looming in the distance. |
