Seeing Rings
Featured on March 16, 2021
Hubble Space Telescope captured this false-color image of Uranus and its rings in 1998. The rings actually are much fainter than depicted here, so they weren't discovered until the 1980s. Most of the rings are made of small pebbles, although a few are made of tiny grains of dust. [NASA/JPL/STScI]
