Behold! It's Saturn in all of its contrasty glory.
Jun 27, 2023
The James Webb Space Telescope spent over two and a half hours observing the planet this weekend. The photographs of Saturn were taken using the telescope’s Near Infrared Spectrograph camera instrument which captures the planet through a series of different filters. Methane absorbs radiation in the narrow band between, making the gas planet look dark when this filter is used. The rings, on the other hand, reflect this radiation brightly, allowing them to glow and dominate the image. Meanwhile, Saturn appears as dark as the space behind it.
In the image above, Saturn and its rings are aglow as a huge, gleaming ball of light against the various moons and stars in space.Galileo Galilei first discovered Saturn’s mysterious rings in the first telescopic observations of the planet in the early 1600s. Since then, Saturn and its iconic rings have fascinated astrophotographers.

Civil rights icon James Meredith, 90, falls at Mississippi event but has no visible injuriesCivil rights icon James Meredith fell outside the Mississippi Capitol at an event marking his 90th birthday. He suffered no visible injuries. Meredith tumbled forward onto a portable lectern Sunday as he stood to speak to some 200 people. Those around him scrambled to help him into a wheelchair. An ambulance crew checked Meredith afterward before he left with friends and family. A person close to the family said hours later that Meredith was doing better and resting at home. White mobs rioted in 1962 when Meredith enrolled as the first Black student at the University of Mississippi.
