Uranus and its Moons (or some of them)
Posted in Astronomy at 12:00 on 2 January 2024
From Astronomy Picture of the Day for 29/12/23. This is an image of Uranus and some of its moons taken by the NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) on the James Webb Space Telescope. Uranus’s rings are also clearly visible. These moons are all named after characters in Shakespeare plays.
It never fails to astound me we can view such sharp images of faraway objects.
