CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) Neptune and its rings havent looked this good in decades.

NASA released new glamour shots of our solar systems outermost planet Wednesday taken by the James Webb Space Telescope. The pictures taken in July show not only Neptunes thin rings, but its faint dust bands, never before observed in the infrared, as well as seven of its 14 known moons.

Webb showed Jupiter at its best in a series of fresh photos released last month.

Launched less than a year ago, the $10 billion Webb is spending most of its time peering much deeper into the universe. Astronomers hope to see back to almost the beginning of time when the first stars and galaxies were forming.

NASAs Voyager 2 was the first spacecraft to see Neptune in all its gaseous glory, during a 1989 flyby. No other spacecraft have visited the icy, blue planet. So its been three decades since astronomers last saw these rings with such detail and clarity, said the Space Science Institutes Heidi Hammel, a planetary astronomer working with Webb.
