These appear as brilliant, bright features, NASA says. Also prominent in the new image are Neptune's rings, which have not been directly observed since Voyager 2 flew by the planet in 1989.

Even more striking is the clarity in which the JWST brings Neptune’s rings into focus. The image above shows Neptune’s narrow rings and even its fainter dust rings in infrared light.
