3. Keck Observatory & @ChandraXRay: @KeckObservatory took the infrared composite image on the left in 2004 with adaptive optics. On the right is the same image with the addition of Chandra’s X-ray data, shown in magenta. pic.twitter.com/1bsAO8QIpy

Uranus has never looked better. Really.

Only Voyager 2 and Keck (with adaptive optics) have imaged the planet's faintest rings before, and never as clearly as Webb’s first glimpse at this ice giant, which also highlights bright atmospheric features. https://t.co/aE3rJIqVKy pic.twitter.com/RZElIRkudl
Uranus rotates on its side, causing its poles to experience 42 years of sunlight & 42 years of darkness. (It takes 84 years to orbit the Sun.) Voyager flew by Uranus in 1986 when it was summer at its south pole. Now the south pole is out of view, facing the darkness of space.

2. Hubble: @NASAHubble has given us multiple views of Uranus. The image on the left was taken with visible, ultraviolet and infrared light in 2003, while the image on the right was taken in visible light in 2022. pic.twitter.com/wAI4H4wmQH
