Dr. Heidi B. Hammel waited decades to see Neptune so vividly, as captured by the James Webb Space Telescope’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam). The last time some of these rings around Neptune were detected was in 1989 when NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft observed the planet during a flyby. A recent panel at the Museum of Science brought together some of Webb’s leading team members and astronomers in conversation with Radiolab’s Molly Webster.
