Hey Neptune. Did you ring? 👋 @NASAWebb captured the clearest look at Neptune's rings in 30+ years — our first time seeing them in infrared light. Swipe to the second and third images to check out 7 of Neptune’s moons. See that object in the upper left? That’s no star. It’s Neptune’s large, unusual moon, Triton! Because Triton is covered in frozen, condensed nitrogen, it reflects 70% of the sunlight that hits it — making it appear very bright to Webb. The other 6 moons can be seen as tiny dots surrounding Neptune and its rings. Neptune and Triton can still be seen at the center of the last image, which zooms out to show the big picture. Webb’s powerful infrared vision uncovers scores of background galaxies and stars. Read more about these views of Neptune at @NASAWebb’s link in bio! Image Descriptions: 1) Neptune’s rings are distinctly visible in this image taken by Webb. Set against a dark background, the planet resembles a pearl with ethereal concentric ovals around it. 2) A large, prominent 8-pointed object, colored in teal, is Neptune’s moon Triton on the upper left. A small, pearl-like Neptune is below and to the right of Triton. Its rings are a standout feature. Surrounding Neptune and its rings are 6 other moons, seen as tiny dots. Clockwise, starting from 3 o’clock, they are: Despina, Proteus, Larissa, Thalassa, Naiad, Galatea. The background is dark and sprinkled with a few other distant objects. 3) Labeled version of the previous image. There are arrows and labels in small white text pointing out each of the 7 Neptune moons that can be seen. 4) Zoomed out view of Neptune, its rings and its moons as captured by Webb. Neptune’s moon Triton, resembling a small teal snowflake, is the central focal point, with a tiny ringed, pearl-like Neptune below and to the right of it. The black background is filled with galaxies, 8-pointed bright objects and dots. A small white spiral galaxy in the bottom left corner is particularly visible.
