Neptune doesn't seem blue with Webb’s Close to-Infrared Digital camera (NIRCam). In reality, the methane gasoline so strongly absorbs crimson and infrared gentle that the planet is sort of darkish at these near-infrared wavelengths, besides the place high-altitude clouds are current.

Neptune has obtained the rings.
NASA’s James Webb House Telescope has offered a picture of Neptune that exhibits the planet’s rings — the clearest view of the rings of this distant planet in additional than 30 years.
NASA’s Voyager 2 grew to become the primary spacecraft to look at Neptune throughout its flyby in 1989. Along with a number of vibrant, slim rings, the Webb picture clearly exhibits Neptune’s fainter mud bands.
In the summertime of 1989, NASA’s Voyager 2 grew to become the primary spacecraft to look at the planet Neptune, its ultimate planetary goal, passing about 3,000 miles above Neptune’s north pole.
