James Webb Telescope Uncovers Hidden Rings of Uranus

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured stunning images of Uranus' 13 rings of ice and dust, with only 11 visible through the telescope. Uranus is the only planet that rotates on its side, making it difficult to observe its rings. The planet's unique orbit also means that its north pole experiences many years of direct sunlight, followed by just as many years of total darkness. Planetary rings are made of billions of fragments of icy rocks, and scientists are unsure how they form.
