It\u2019s December 19, and as we get closer to the year-end holidays your humble space correspondent is starting to get a little stir-crazy. Hence the reason for today\u2019s abdominal, I mean abominable, headline.<\/p>\n<p style=\"\">This amazingly cool image of Uranus comes from the Near-Infrared Camera on the James Webb Space Telescope. This wide-field image shows Uranus with an assortment of background galaxies and 14 of its 27 moons, including Oberon and Titania. We can also see the north polar cap gleaming a bright white, as well as the planet\u2019s rather faint (in visible light) inner and outer rings.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve also included the close-up image of Uranus, which is really quite stunning with all of its various rings. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"ars-img-shortcode id-1991870 align-center\">\n<p>                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"566\" height=\"409\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/STScI-01HHFP5G5BXSC5M7DX6DG9YXMB.png\" class=\"center full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/STScI-01HHFP5G5BXSC5M7DX6DG9YXMB.png 566w, https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/STScI-01HHFP5G5BXSC5M7DX6DG9YXMB-300x217.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 566px) 100vw, 566px\"><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>You probably already know that this ice giant of a planet is the seventh one in our Solar System from the Sun.
