Floating near the edge of our solar system, Neptune is a world of near-permanent twilight, invisible to the naked eye.But in visible light images taken by Voyager 2 and the Hubble Space Telescope ...

NASA released new images of Neptune from the James Webb Space Telescope on Wednesday, ... a photo of Neptune taken by Voyager 2 in 1989, Hubble in 2021, and the James Webb telescope in 2022.

While Neptune’s methane gas makes the planet appear blue in Hubble Space Telescope and Voyager 2 images, the James Webb Space Telescope uses infrared light that can’t be seen by the human eye.

NASA's powerful James Webb Space Telescope has released stunning new images of Neptune and its rings, as well as seven of the planet's 14 known moons. Researchers say it's the clearest view of ...

How does the camera on the James Webb Space Telescope work and see so far out? – Kieran G., age 12, Minnesota Imagine a ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured a detailed image of Neptune's auroras, making it the first observatory to do so. Though Voyager 2 was the first spacecraft to fly by Neptune, detect ...

At the left, an enhanced-color image of Neptune from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. At the right, that image is combined with data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope.

Webb captured the moment of impact, as did the Hubble Telescope. Webb's images show a tight point of light with ejecta expanding outward. The observations retained more data than Hubble's.

NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft found hints of auroras on Neptune in 1989, but scientists couldn’t get a clear picture then. Using Webb’s near-infrared instrument in June 2023, they not only got ...

The telescope also captured seven of Neptune's 14 moons. NASA released new images of Neptune from the James Webb Space Telescope on Wednesday, showing off some of the planet's rings. This is the ...
