Fierce storms over the ocean can dislodge carbonate sediment – like from coral, algae and hard shells of marine life – from shallow water and move it deeper into the ocean.
This process may have important implications for ocean acidification. go.nasa.gov/3Gro3Ts 🌊🪸🐚

Stirring Up Carbonate in the Coral Sea
Fierce storms can dislodge carbonate sediment from shallow underwater platforms and move it into deeper waters.go.nasa.gov
In Feb. 2023, Tropical Cyclone Gabrielle passed over shallow waters at the Bellona Plateau in the Coral Sea.
The storm suspended carbonate sediment that then drifted into deep ocean waters.

This process can help counter ocean acidification from rising carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
But scientists are still investigating how climate change might be changing the marine carbon cycle. go.nasa.gov/3Gro3Ts

Webb’s powerful infrared eye has captured never-before-seen detail of Cassiopeia A (Cas A). 11,000 light-years away, it is the remnant of a massive star that exploded about 340 years ago: go.nasa.gov/3ZJnk72

💍Saturn's not the only planet to put a ring on it
A new image from @NASAWebb displays Uranus' rings in infrared light. Uranus is a top target in the next decade of planetary science, so we're eager to see what else Webb will reveal of this distant planet solarsystem.nasa.gov/uranus/

Uranus
The seventh planet from the sun with the third largest diameter in our solar system, Uranus is very cold and windy.NASA Solar System Exploration
Hubble's latest view of Uranus, taken in visible light, shows the planet's north polar cap which continues to get brighter.
As Uranus's northern summer solstice approaches in 2028 the cap may grow brighter still, and will be aimed directly toward Earth.

"Ring in" @NASAWebb's new image of Uranus!
Hubble has observed the planets in our solar system for decades, and its consistent check-ins give astronomers a wealth of data about their atmospheres and weather.
Now with Webb on the job as well, we can learn even more! ⬇️

Webb's powerful infrared vision unveils Uranus's faintest dusty rings along with bright features in the planet’s atmosphere.

Uranus. (Go ahead, get it out of your system. We tried.)
Only Voyager 2 in the 1980s & Keck (with adaptive optics) have imaged the planet's rings before, and they've never been this clear. @NASAWebb highlights atmospheric features & 11 of its 13 rings: go.nasa.gov/414SqXV

A picture of Uranus (the planet) taken from, you could say, "above", with its rings very visible around it.
The background appears completely black.
Uranus looks almost like a pearl with a blue tint and a glimmer of light on its left side.
The outermost ring appears white and looks like if it was emitting its own light.
Inwards there's two rings in light grey, then a darker one, and then a fifth, so dark that it almost blends with the background.
"Uranus. (Go ahead, get it out of your system. We tried.)"
I mean, that IS one exit point of a human's system...
AROUND
URANUS!
Uranus is unique: It rotates on its side, at a ~90-degree angle. This causes extreme seasons as the poles experience 42 years of constant sunlight followed by 42 years of darkness. Has it ever looked better than @NASAWebb's view? go.nasa.gov/3nTo3oO
