JWST - Neptunian system with its rings and surrounding area - NIRCam - Extreme magnification and reconstruction via AI - Detail 2
Reconstruction, using our artificial intelligence model, of the photo of Neptune, acquired by the JWST through the NIRCam (in the near-infrared range from 0.6 to 5 microns). Our artificial intelligence model cleaned up distortions and background noise as much as possible, after which the entire image was upscaled. Methane gas absorbs red and infrared light so strongly that the planet is quite dark at these near-infrared wavelengths, except when clouds are present at high altitudes. These clouds of ice and methane are evident as bright streaks and spots, which reflect sunlight before it is absorbed by methane gas.
In this extreme magnification, you can see here clearly shows the planetary rings and 5 of Neptune's 14 moons. Starting counter-clockwise at the top left: Galatea, Neiad, Thalassa, Larissa Despina.
The file is available at 21.3 million pixels for download at a resolution of 5712x3728 pixels.
