The planet’s faintest rings have only been observed two other times in the past, according to NASA.
"The Webb data demonstrates the observatory’s unprecedented sensitivity for the faintest dusty rings, which have only ever been imaged by two other facilities: the Voyager 2 spacecraft as it flew past the planet in 1986, and the Keck Observatory with advanced adaptive optics,"The image clearly displays Uranus’ northern pole, which is currently in its late spring season. The northern pole will not experience its summer season until the year 2028.
At the edge of the polar ice cap is what scientists at NASA said is a bright cloud and a second cloud can be seen at the left edge of the planet. The space telescope also captured several of Uranus’ 27 moons including Umbriel, Ariel, Puck, Miranda, Titania, and Oberon.
