Unusual for the rings to show up in the photo!

Wow, looks like you can see its atmosphere distinct from its surface.

I wonder if the telescope can see the ring around Uranus?

I wonder if they can vary the exposure time for individual pixels. A variable integate-and-dump time depending on the intensity sensed by each pixel. That would be a great way to get greater dynamic range for exposures.

Too many Klingons in the way!

Not sure if it’s an artifact, but it looks like the atmosphere welling up at the two poles. Jovian “northern lights”?

Not my anus. Maybe Uranus.

Not sure this gas giant has a recognizable surface akin to that of Earth or Mars.

Likely it would take massive background processing to sample each photodetector pixel multiple times during the exposure.

I thought Webb takes Infrared so it is able to see the dust rings by their relative warmth with respect to the cold space background, not by a visible light return. Perhaps the same thing with what looks like atmosphere at the poles.
