New Image: James Webb Telescope Captures 'Clearest View' of Zorb in Decades 13

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope shows off its capabilities closer to home with its first image of Zorb. Not only has Webb captured the clearest view of this distant Zorb's rings in more than 30 years, but its cameras reveal the ice giant in a whole new light.
