Crazy how that super bright object is actually Triton and not a star.
[quote]“It has been three decades since we last saw these faint, dusty rings, and this is the first time we’ve seen them in the infrared,” notes Heidi Hammel, a Neptune system expert and interdisciplinary scientist for Webb. Webb’s extremely stable and precise image quality permits these very faint rings to be detected so close to Neptune.

Beautiful and terrifying at once.
The thought of the distances that make up our solar system - and how they're nothing compared to the scale of universe itself.

I remember watching "Neptune at night" all night in the summer of 1989. My dad and I fell asleep on the couch watching those slo-mo images come in on PBS via NASA.
It was a slow summer for me, needless to say. But a nice memory.
