JWST wide field with Neptune
JWST wide field with Neptune In this image by JWST's Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam), you can see Neptune along with Triton, which appears as a bright blue object to Neptune's upper left. Triton is brighter than Neptune because its surface reflects 70% of the light that hits it. In the background you can see a smattering of hundreds of galaxies. NASA / ESA/ CSA / STScI
