This image shows the appearance of Uranus as observed on September 4, 2023. The image captures in great detail the body of Uranus, covered in white polar caps, surrounded by multiple bright, faint rings and numerous satellites.

This image was created based on data acquired by the James Webb Space Telescope's Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam). Because the Webb Space Telescope primarily observes infrared wavelengths that cannot be seen by the human eye, the colors of published images are colored according to the filters used during acquisition.

On the other hand, this image of Uranus was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) on November 10, 2022. (Visible Light Imaging)

Uranus is a beautiful, pale blue planet, with its right side covered in a white, hat-like cloud. According to the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), which operates the Hubble Space Telescope, this is a photochemically elevated smog-like haze over cities. Many small storms are also said to be visible around the edge of the fog.

In visible light, Uranus appears as a nice pale blue ball, but when viewed at infrared wavelengths (colored according to wavelength), it appears to be a completely different celestial body.

Details about each image of Uranus are provided in the following articles.
