Neptune sits at the end of our solar system. The ice giant is about 30 times farther from the sun than Earth, NASA says, and is the only planet not viewable to the naked eye.
The James Webb Space Telescope has given us some of the sharpest images of the planets in our solar system, and newly released images show Neptune and its rings for the first time since 1989.
Not only were the rings captured, but so were the planet's dust bands.
It takes about 165 years for the planet to orbit the sun, and it's so far from the sun that high noon on the planet is like dim twilight on Earth.
