The rings of #Uranus! We combined thermal-infrared imaging from the @ESO Very Large Telescope with millimetre imaging from ALMA to make the first ever detection of thermal emission from the rings: Molter et al. arxiv.org/abs/1905.12566

news.berkeley.edu/2019/06/20/ast… What's amazing about this is that the #Uranus observations were targeting the thermal structure of the atmosphere. When I first processed the data, I was astonished to see the rings. That's never happened before.
