#PPOD: What better way to finish out the week than with this new image of Uranus taken by the JWST? Taken with NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera), the picture shows the planet and its rings in new clarity. The planet’s seasonal north polar cap gleams in a bright white, and Webb’s exquisite sensitivity resolves Uranus’ dim inner and outer rings, including the Zeta ring—the extremely faint and diffuse ring closest to the planet.
