An ethereal image of Neptune, the most distant planet from the sun, taken by the James Webb Space Telescope. The image captured seven moons and the planet's thin rings, which are very difficult to photograph from Earth. In this cropped version of the image, released on Sept. 21, 2022, the moons Galatea, Naiad, and Thalassa are seen on the left side of the planet, and Despina, Proteus, Larissa are seen on the right side. Neptune's large and unusual moon, Triton, is out of frame. (NASA, ESA, CSA, STScl).
