IN PICTURES – Discover the mesmerizing shot of Uranus captured by the James Webb telescope

Another breathtaking photo. Accustomed to unpublished high quality shots, the James Webb telescope has done it once more. This time, Uranus was immortalized. In this image released by NASA, the ice giant appears surrounded by eleven of its spectacular rings. Some of them, made entirely of dust, had so far only been photographed by the Voyager 2 space probe (1986) and the Keck observatory, located more than 4000 meters above sea level on Mount Mauna Kea , in Hawaii. A feat that is all the more impressive since these celestial objects are located at a distance of between 2.58 and 3.15 billion kilometers from Earth.
