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: https://go.nasa.gov/414SqXV #NASA
Following in the footsteps of the Neptune image released in 2022, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has taken a stunning image of the solar system’s other ice giant, the planet Uranus.

in reply to NASA • • •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.
