Wake up, babe. @NASAWebb dropped a new infrared image of Saturn.
On June 25, the space telescope detected the planet’s faint moons and looked at its icy rings. Methane gas in Saturn’s atmosphere absorbs light, so it appears darker here. go.nasa.gov/3r97xD0

We're looking forward to SpaceX' Dragon's safe return home.
It's great to have our space community working together.
Is NASA mining asteroids? No, but we love studying them.
The science gained from asteroid missions—like our upcoming #PsycheMission to a unique metal-rich world—could one day benefit future cosmic resource endeavors. nasa.gov/asteroids
