space telescope James Webb captured a stunning image Uranusone of the ice giants of our solar system.
In this photo, you can see how the planet retains visible rings, and add even more detail to the data obtained during the Voyager 2 flyby in 1986 and images from the Keck Observatory.
rings of Uranus
The seventh planet from the Sun Uranus, it is unique: it rotates on its side, at an angle of approximately 90 degrees to the plane of its orbit. This causes extreme seasons as the planet’s poles experience many years of constant sunshine followed by the same number of years of total darkness. (Uranus revolution around the sun takes 84 years).
It is currently late spring for the north pole that is visible here; his summer will still be in 2028. In contrast, when Voyager 2 visited UranusIt was summer at the South Pole. The South Pole is now on the “dark side” of the planet, out of sight and face to face with the darkness of space.
Painting James Webb combines data from two 1.4 and 3.0 micron filters, shown here in blue and orange, respectively. In the representative color image, the planet has a blue tint.
Uranus it has 13 known rings, and 11 of them are visible in this telescope image.
Some of these rings are so bright on Webb that when they are together, they seem to merge into one larger ring. Nine are classified as the planet’s main rings, and two are fainter dust rings (like the blurry zeta ring closest to the planet) that were not discovered until the Voyager 2 flyby in 1986.
Scientists hope future images Uranus show the two faint outer rings that were discovered by Hubble during its 2007 plane crossing of the rings..
little intruder
James Webb also captured many of the 27 known moons Uranus (most of which are too small and dim to be seen here); the six brightest stand out in the panoramic image.
In 2022, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine defined the science of Uranus as a priority in its Decennial Review of Astrobiology and Planetary Science 2023-2033. Additional studies are currently underway on the star, and additional studies are planned for the first year of scientific operations. James Webb.
