NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) used its Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) to capture this incredible shot of Neptune’s turbulent atmosphere and ethereal ring system. Neptune’s moon Triton, at left, outshines the planet because Neptune’s atmosphere is rich in methane gas, which absorbs light at the wavelengths JWST is sensitive to.
