Taking a good look at Uranus...
Connecting Singles members are really apathetic when it comes to science and astronomy. I've blogged about eclipses, comets and all sorts of celestial phenomena and those blogs get little to no comments when compared to political blogs... a subject that although readers complain so much about, they comment on.For a while, I've scanned news about the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) that was launched in December 2021. JWST is 3 times the size of the Hubble telescope and equipped with sensors to detect the full light spectrum near ultraviolet to infrared.
The JWST has been sending images back to earth that are nothing less than spectacular, images not only of visible light to humans, but infrared light that passes through dust clouds that normally block visible light.
Coming up on the anniversary of the launch, and just a few days ago, I saw an article about new JWST images of the icy planet Uranus and some of it's 27 moons. These images are far greater than seen by Hubble.
