This image of Uranus, released on December 18, 2023, taken by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope's NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) shows the planet and its rings in new clarity. The image captures Uranus's seasonal north polar cap, including the bright, white, inner cap and the dark lane in the bottom of the polar cap. Uranus' dim inner and outer rings are also visible in this image, including the elusive Zeta ring-the extremely faint and diffuse ring closest to the planet. Nine of the planet's 27 moons are also visible; they are the blue dots that surround the planet's rings. NASA/UPI
