--- title: Webb Telescope Captures Images Of Neptune And Its Rings | WeatherBug description: New images released from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope reveal Neptune, and the planet’s hard-to-detect rings. In addition to several narrow rings, the Webb images show Neptune’s fainter dust bands. Some of the rings haven’t been observed since NASA’s Voyager 2 got the first photographic proof of their existence in 1989. In the new images, Neptune looks white, unlike the typical blue appearance in views captured at visible wavelengths of light. canonical: https://www.weatherbug.com/weather-videos/educational/20220924-James-Webb-Telescope-Captures-Images-Of-Neptune-And-Its-Rings og:title: Webb Telescope Captures Images Of Neptune And Its Rings | WeatherBug og:description: New images released from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope reveal Neptune, and the planet’s hard-to-detect rings.
