Das James Webb-Weltraumteleskop der NASA hat Uranus mit seiner Nahinfrarotkamera (NIRCam) in atemberaubenden Details eingefangen. Das Bild zeigt deutlich die helle Nordpolkappe des Planeten, die dunkle Spur, schwache Ringe und den schwer fassbaren Zeta-Ring, der dem Planeten am nächsten liegt. Es zeigt auch 9 der 27 Uranusmonde als kleine blaue Punkte um die Ringe.

I used to have a lot of space related nightmares as a child, asteroid impact, sun expanding into a red giant and incinerating everyone, rogue black holes, I shouldn’t have been allowed to watch those documentaries. One of the worse ones was a dream where I had a feeling of dread because what if the thing that knocked Uranus on its side came to Earth next, and I felt like I was stuck in this dream for hours waiting for something to appear out of the night sky and rotate us all to death.
So yeah, Uranus is cool, probably my second favourite planet/planetoid.
Uranus kind of looks like a hole
Wow – that’s beautiful!
This image is light below the visible spectrum transposed across the visible spectrum?
Uranus is my favorite planet (other than Earth). I wish NASA would hurry up and get to it. It maybe looks dull from Earth, but I’m betting there’s a really good story there.
I’ll always remember in science class in Elementary school (this was pre Internet in the late 80s) being told that its Saturn who has rings not Uranus. And I said yes Saturn has rings too but this book and these pictures show a small ring. The teacher laughed at me. Said I was wrong. The students laughed at me. Said I was an idiot. Such a fun core memory. Not sure why I shared this but always first thing I think of when I see Uranus with the rings shown.
I’ve seen enough movies to know thats definitely a portal somewhere
