for the neptune lovers 💙
In this Webb image, Neptune resembles a pearl with rings that look like ethereal concentric ovals around it. There are 2 thinner, crisper rings and 2 broader, fainter rings. A few extremely bright patches on the lower half of Neptune represent methane ice clouds. Six tiny white dots, which are six of Neptune’s 14 moons, are scattered among the rings. The background of the image is black. Neptune appears as a light blue crescent against the darkness of space. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Kevin M. Gill Neptune appears as a large blue crescent, illuminated on its left side. Triton appears as a much smaller brown crescent, also illuminated on its left side. Triton is on the bottom of Neptune. Voyager image of Neptune. The planet appears dark blue and dark atmospheric features can be seen across the planet.
