The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has captured an image of Uranus, our solar system's seventh planet from the Sun, and it can easily be described as "stunning," according to a photo release that the European Space Agency shared on Wednesday. The new picture of Uranus shows off the ice planet's rings, which comprise what some believe may be debris from shattered moons, as well as its bright atmosphere, composed of mostly hydrogen and helium, per NASA. Launched on December 25, 2021, the James Webb Space Telescope is a marvel of engineering that features mirrors composed of gold-plated beryllium, although it ultimately cost $10 billion USD to make.
