The James Webb space telescope has shifted its focus from the distant universe to the solar system, taking a picture of a bright Neptune and her wispy, dusty rings. Since Nasa's Voyager 2 flew by Jupiter for a few hours in 1989, it has been the first-time scientists have gotten such a clear picture of the furthest planet from the sun. Webb's capacity to image in the infrared has now allowed us to get a fresh look at Neptune's atmosphere. So, what exactly has the JWST found on the planet Neptune? How does this incredible finding change our perspective on the solar system as a whole? Dive in with us as we explore the disturbing new finding on Neptune made by the James Webb Space Telescope.
Neptune is the solar system's eighth and final planet. Neptune's position as the eighth and final planet used to go back and forth between eighth and ninth planet before Pluto was downgraded. Neptune is a fascinating planet, and not just because of its electric blue hue, which makes it stand out from the other planets.
Neptune was concealed from humans for eons since it is so far away and cannot be seen without a strong telescope! However, scientists found Neptune on the night of September 23-24, 1846. The finding was made possible by mathematical predictions of its expected position as a result of observable deviations in Uranus' orbit. Neptune is too faint to be seen with the human eye, hence the discovery was made through a telescope. Astronomers quickly identified a moon circling Neptune, but it would take more than a century to spot another!
