NASA. Exceptional clear infrared observation of Saturn's rings. The planet appears through a ghostly, ethereal image, with its bands of dust, rings and moons. (Some of these rings have not been detected since the Voyager 2 flyby in 1989). In visible light, Neptune appears blue due to the small quantities of methane present in its atmosphere. Here, Webb's NIRCam instrument observed Neptune at near-infrared wavelengths, so Neptune doesn't look so blue!
Vintage chromogenic print. NASA reference in the margin on the front. Legend on back label. 20.4 x 25.4 cm with margins.
