Description: An updated near infrared (NIR) image of Uranus (September 4, 2023) from the James Webb Telescope which shows more moons than the previous release last April 2023. Almost all regular moons, from the innermost moon Bianca to Perdita are now visible (only Puck, Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, TItania and Oberon were visible in the previous older image). However, Cordelia and Ophelia are not visible as they are outshone by the Epsilon Ring; and Mab and Cupid are too small to appear in this image.
