10 photos taken by the James Web Space Telescope in 2022, Amaze!

The ring of Neptune. James Webb captures the sharpest view of Neptune’s rings in more than 30 years. A few rings went undetected by NASA’s Voyager 2 flyby in 1989. JWST also captured seven of Neptune’s 14 known moons: Galatea, Naiad, Thalassa, Despina, Proteus, Larissa, and Triton. Neptune’s large and unusual moon Triton dominates this portrait of Webb Neptune as a very bright point of light displaying the characteristic diffraction peaks seen in many of Webb’s images.
