With its first picture of Neptune, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope demonstrates its abilities on a far more recognizable scale. Webb’s cameras not only provide the finest glimpse of this faraway planet’s rings in over 30 years, but also shed fresh insight on the ice giant. Webb’s latest photograph stands out because it provides a clear look of Neptune’s rings, some of which have not been seen since NASA’s Voyager 2 flew past the planet in 1989. The fainter dust bands of Neptune are also visible in the Webb picture, along with many brilliant, thin rings. It slsowas also announced this week by NASA that one of the four viewing modes on Webb’s Mid-Infrared (MIRI) sensor is malfunctioning. The implementation of a mechanism that allows for medium-resolution spectroscopy, one of these modes, has run into some difficulties. NASA has identified the issue and is planning a solution. As of Wednesday, NASA’s Webb telescope programme scientist Eric Smith indicated that he does not believe this problem would prevent the device from being used in the long run, in the video published on Sep 21, 2022, “IT HAPPENED! James Webb Space Telescope captures the best image of Neptune’s ring in decades“, below:

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope shows off its capabilities closer to home with its first image of Neptune. Not only has Webb captured the clearest view of this distant planet’s rings in more than 30 years, but its cameras reveal the ice giant in a whole new light. Most striking in Webb’s new image is the crisp view of the planet’s rings – some of which have not been detected since NASA’s Voyager 2 became the first spacecraft to observe Neptune during its flyby in 1989. In addition to several bright, narrow rings, the Webb image clearly shows Neptune’s fainter dust bands, in the video published on Sep 21, 2022, “James Webb Telescope’s New image of Neptune stunned everyone with overwhelming details“, below:
The James Webb Space Telescope’s Near-Infrared camera (NIRCam) captured stunning imagery of Neptune. It is the “clearest view of this peculiar planet’s rings in more than 30 years,” according to ESA/NASA, in the video published on Sep 21, 2022, “See James Webb Space Telescope’s view of Neptune in stunning 4k“, below:

NASA Makes Unexpected Discovery On Neptune | Real Images. It’s been nearly 33 years since NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft flew close to Neptune, giving humanity its first and only close encounter with the planet. Scientists were astounded when they saw the first true photos of Neptune, thanks to the Voyager 2 spacecraft and the Hubble Space Telescope. What did they see and why was it so shocking? Let’s find out! In the video published on Apr 15, 2022, “NASA Makes Unexpected Discovery On Neptune| Real Images“, below:
