TL;DR Summary

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured unprecedented detail of 11 of Uranus's 13 rings, providing a new view of the planet. The picture shows how much more powerful JWST is than NASA's other space observatory, the Hubble Space Telescope, when it comes to infrared imaging. JWST also took a wide look at the Uranian planetary system, including six of its brightest moons. The picture could shed light on the planet's unique and mysterious polar cap, which appears on the side facing the sun every Uranian summer.
