The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has been having a field day with the solar system recently. After imaging Jupiter, showcasing its auroras and hazes, and Mars’ crater-riddled surface, NASA has now directed the powerful space telescope towards Neptune, the farthest-reaching planet of the solar system. Webb didn’t disappoint one bit, delivering the clearest view […]
Thanks, InSight!
