Scientists began to use space telescope “James Webb” who uses infrared to search for The mysterious seventh planet Uranus.
The image that was taken of the planet Uranus, famous for the turquoise planet, revealed the appearance of moons around it, and that Uranus is really strange at first sight, and the presence of the icy world that characterizes it.
And the appearance of Uranus is a relatively featureless, pale blue ball. In thermal imaging, using radio waves and infrared, scientists were able to measure the physical properties of Uranus’ ice rings.
The JWST space telescope is the most powerful ever launched and sees the universe exclusively in the infrared and near infrared, making it ideal for capturing the elongated glow of light that shone billions of years into our past.
And the infrared wavelengths of the JWST space telescope were able to reveal a lot about Uranus, that the ferocious planet has an unusual rotation and that it is turned on its side relative to its orbital plane, which means that its polar seasons are completely different from the seasons of other planets.
Finally, the telescope captured many of the 27 known moons of Uranus, but not all of them. Some of them are so faint that they cannot be seen, but these moons have very different orbits, as 6 of them share the orbital plane with the equatorial plane of Uranus, as is the case with the smaller inner moons. , But Uranus also has a group of very distant and irregular moons that have tilted, elliptical orbits.
