JWST - Uranus and its rings - NIRCam - Magnification and reconstruction via AI.

This is our version, via our artificial intelligence model, of the image provided by JWST about the Uranus and its rings. Here is an incredible view of Uranus' planetary rings. As the planet is tilted anomalously towards the Sun, it shows a peculiar view of its rings, exposing one of the poles towards the star. The planet, here, appears in light blue tones even though the image is shown in two near-infrared filters: F140M (at 1.4 microns) with light blue and F300M (at 3.0 microns) with orange.

 

On the edge of the polar cap is a bright cloud and some fainter extended features just north of the edge of the cap, while a second very bright cloud is visible at the left edge of the planet. These Clouds are typical of Uranus in the infrared wavelengths and are probably related to thunderstorm activity.

 

The file is available for download at 56.25 million pixels with a resolution of 7500x7500 pixels.
