We’ll be able to catch five planets in the sky this week. Starting today if you look towards the west according to this article.

Watching on mute at work. Was the separation successful? Can hardly tell what’s going on.

**archibaldcrane** · 2023-04-20 08:40

Took off and flew but it started spinning around the time it was supposed to separate and then exploded. Still, they got it to fly for the first time so that's a big step.

**Xno Kappa** · 2023-04-20 08:47

Gotcha. Yeah that part didn’t look right so I was curious if it was intended lol.

Saturn's turn.

On June 25, 2023, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope turned to famed ringed world Saturn for its first near-infrared observations of the planet. The initial imagery from Webb’s NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) is already fascinating researchers.

Saturn itself appears extremely dark at this infrared wavelength observed by the telescope, as methane gas absorbs almost all of the sunlight falling on the atmosphere. However, the icy rings stay relatively bright, leading to the unusual appearance of Saturn in the Webb image.

I have seen all the images from Webb they have released to the public and this one is the best so far imo.
