Neptune's Faint Rings Are Sharp Again for the First Time in 30 Years — Without Getting Closer
Voyager 2 caught Neptune's faint rings up close in 1989, and they've barely been visible since. Now JWST, sitting roughly 2.8 billion miles away, has spotted them again in infrared — with Neptune itself fading into the dark and its rings and seven moons popping into view. SORABUMI explains how staying farther away actually helped.
