This zoomed-in image of Uranus captured byJWST’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) reveals a stunning view of the planet’s rings. The planet displays a blue hue in this representative-color image made by combining data from two filters, 1.4 (blue) and 3.0 microns (orange).Uranus is unique: It rotates on its side, at roughly a 90-degree angle from the plane of its orbit, so we see a top down view.
