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

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.

I mean, that IS one exit point of a human's system...
