NASA’s James Webb Telescope took to social media to share a stunning image of Uranus and its ‘faint, diffuse, and elusive’ Zeta ring. Not only that, but the space agency also captured bright storms on the icy planet. Since the images of Uranus were shared on Instagram, many people called it ‘beautiful’. Uranus’ picture captured James Webb Telescope. (Instagram/@NASA) “These new images reveal detailed features of Uranus’s seasonal north polar cap, as well as bright storms near and below the southern border of the cap. If humans want to send a spacecraft to visit Uranus up close, it’s necessary to understand how to navigate debris from its rings. Because of the planet’s extreme 98-degree tilt, its seasons are extreme. For a quarter of its year, the Sun shines on one pole, which means half the planet experiences a dark, 21-Earth year winter,” wrote NASA in the caption of the image.
