New science.

JWST captures neptune and its rings.

Why such a blurry image? For such a relatively close and massive object

I think it's interesting how the top and bottom of the "ring" both like they're in the background, instead of one being in the foreground to implicate a "3D" tilt on the ring, instead of just a 2d oblong oval.

>> No.14865093

>>14865084
because the planet is so much brighter the light goes through the rings

because JWST has shitty optics.
when the program was launched in the mid 1990s, it was originally planned as an 8m telescope with high quality, round, fully symmetrical optics of a similar grade to what HST was capable of, but with 3x better angular resolution due to the larger optics.
all that was supposed to have cost only $500 million and the were promising to launch it by 2007.
instead they launched in 2022, 13 years late and overran their budget by more than 3000%, all while delivering a telescope with poorly designed optics and only a small fraction of the promised optical performance.
asymmetrical, noncircular optics only function well in a schiefspiegler arrangement, anyone who has studied basic telescope optics could've told them that the hebrew hexagram would fail, unfortunately they did not include those people in the design process, they only included astronomers and nasa people.

Ok so this might be a dumb question but can the JWST take a picture of a planet with no illumination from the sun just the infrared glow of the planet itself?

Yea, I was thinking so as well, but wasn't quite sure what they were supposed to be.

ty. How far away are those moons supposed to be from Saturn; and how big are they?

why does it look like a fucking ghost planet. can't they just take a normal fucking visible spectrum image of the thing, i'm sorry i do like astronomy but this is just gay, blurry bullshit

>> No.14865848

>>14865079
Short exposure time due to the fact that JWST and Neptune are moving relatively quickly relative to eachother.
You also can't really do long exposure due to the inate brightness of Neptune that is far brighter than the galaxies it was designed to image

>i do like astronomy
So you should understand why taking photos in the infrared is more interesting scientifically speaking.
Also the JSWT wasn't designed to take pictures of objects that are so close to it.
