What is known

You can see Saturn in an unusual waythanks to the publication of raw photographs taken by the space telescope. The black and white cards were received late last week. The planet looks spectacular on them primarily due to its main feature - the system of rings.

James Webb and other space telescopescan take color photographs. They transmit black-and-white images to Earth, which are then processed by specialists. Processing allows not only to make pictures beautiful, but also to mark objects that are of scientific interest.

In some photos, we can clearly see the ring system, while the planet itself is almost invisible. This is due to the fact that Saturn and its rings have different reflectivity.
