Prior to the reveal, the image and four others captured by the James Webb Space Telescope were only shared with a small group of scientists from around the world who were astounded and almost moved to tears. The rings are shown eclipsing the young sun-like star J1407, as they would have appeared in early 2007. President Joe Biden released the first photo in a live event streamed on NASA TV.
