    New Neptune photos offer rare views of planet’s rings
    The James Webb Space Telescope’s images of the mysterious ice giant brought humanity a first infrared look at the rings.

    The James Webb Space Telescope's first images of Neptune, the mysterious ice giant that orbits in the far reaches of the outer solar system, were so spectacular that even astronomers could barely contain their emotions.

    The observatory's views, released Wednesday, include rare looks at Neptune's rings, providing some of the sharpest images of these ghostly features seen in more than 30 years, according to NASA.

    "Not gonna lie. I ugly-cried when I saw THE FIRST JWST NEPTUNE IMAGES!" Heidi Hammel, an interdisciplinary scientist with the Webb telescope and a planetary scientist whose research has focused on Neptune and Uranus, tweeted Wednesday.

    [​IMG]The planet Neptune and seven of its 14 known satellites are visible in an (annotated) image captured by the James Webb Space Telescope and released by NASA on Sept. 21, 2022. Triton, the bright spot of light in the upper left of this image, far outshines Neptune because the planets atmosphere is darkened by methane absorption wavelengths captured by Webb.

    No offense to Jimmy Webb, but Neptune looked a lot cooler from VGer2
