homosexual, is just a shity image, nothing more and nothing less, normal people don't care about this type of stuff and won't affect them, those stars and galaxies are so far away even with light speed it will take mankind millions of years to reach.

>Thousands of galaxies – including the faintest objects ever observed in the infrared – have appeared in Webb’s view for the first time. This slice of the vast universe is approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length by someone on the ground.
exactly how many galaxies are in that image? i can't count beyond my fingers and toes.
This image shows many overlapping objects at various distances. They include foreground stars, galaxies
in a galaxy cluster, and distorted background galaxies behind the galaxy cluster.
The background of space is black. Thousands of small galaxies appear across the image. Their colors
vary. Some are shades of orange, others are white. Most appear as fuzzy ovals, but a few have
distinctive spiral arms.
In front of the galaxies are several foreground stars. Most appear blue with diffraction spikes, forming
eight-pointed star shapes. Some look as large as the galaxies that appear next to them.
A very bright star is slightly off center. It has eight blue, long diffraction spikes. In the center of the
image, between 4 o’clock and 6 o’clock in the bright star’s spikes, are several bright, white galaxies.
These are members of the galaxy cluster.
There are also many thin, long, orange arcs. They follow invisible concentric circles that curve around
the center of the image. These are images of background galaxies that have been stretched and
distorted by the foreground galaxy cluster.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has produced the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe to date. Known as Webb’s First Deep Field, this image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 is overflowing with detail.
Thousands of galaxies – including the faintest objects ever observed in the infrared – have appeared in Webb’s view for the first time. This slice of the vast universe is approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length by someone on the ground.
This deep field, taken by Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam), is a composite made from images at different wavelengths, totaling 12.5 hours – achieving depths at infrared wavelengths beyond the Hubble Space Telescope’s deepest fields, which took weeks.
The image shows the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 as it appeared 4.6 billion years ago. The combined mass of this galaxy cluster acts as a gravitational lens, magnifying much more distant galaxies behind it. Webb’s NIRCam has brought those distant galaxies into sharp focus – they have tiny, faint structures that have never been seen before, including star clusters and diffuse features. Researchers will soon begin to learn more about the galaxies’ masses, ages, histories, and compositions, as Webb seeks the earliest galaxies in the universe.
It seems like the contrast is too high - you can see much more behind those fuzzy galaxies near the middle, than in the rest of the image. Does the image use the correct gamma correction?

bc it's false color and made to look as if it were seen through conventional optics. almost all of the data is infrared but they also need to justify themselves to the public
Because what you think is real is based on your own experiences even if those are fakes and what you see now is real. You basically associate how it should look from what you have gathered from video games or tv shows or even just how the sky looks during the night and then your brain hits you with the "this aint like the stuff we know chief" which makes you think it's not real. A lot of space stuff looks fake because of this effect, for instance all space photos look crispier than reality because there's no soft blur with distance due to air and shadows are sharp with no sky which makes them look unnatural. There's basically no real reason to be embarrassed, it's a trap most brainlets fall into.

Update: On Friday, July 8th, NASA released the targets for Webb's first wave of full-color scientific images that mark the official beginning of Webb’s operations. They were selected by an international committee of representatives from NASA, ESA, CSA, and the Space Telescope Science Institute.
Targets are listed below, courtesy of NASA.
Carina Nebula. The Carina Nebula is one of the largest and brightest nebulae in the sky, located approximately 7,600 light-years away in the southern constellation Carina. Nebulae are stellar nurseries where stars form. The Carina Nebula is home to many massive stars, several times larger than the Sun.
WASP-96 b (spectrum). WASP-96 b is a giant planet outside our solar system, composed mainly of gas. The planet, located nearly 1,150 light-years from Earth, orbits its star every 3.4 days. It has about half the mass of Jupiter, and its discovery was announced in 2014.
Southern Ring Nebula. The Southern Ring, or “Eight-Burst” nebula, is a planetary nebula – an expanding cloud of gas, surrounding a dying star. It is nearly half a light-year in diameter and is located approximately 2,000 light-years away from Earth.
Stephan’s Quintet: About 290 million light-years away, Stephan’s Quintet is located in the constellation Pegasus. It is notable for being the first compact galaxy group ever discovered in 1877. Four of the five galaxies within the quintet are locked in a cosmic dance of repeated close encounters.
SMACS 0723: Massive foreground galaxy clusters magnify and distort the light of objects behind them, permitting a deep field view into both the extremely distant and intrinsically faint galaxy populations. Update: On Sunday, NASA announced that the White House would reveal one of the images early on Monday afternoon July 11th at 5:00 PM ET. The event will be streamed live.
So what is the oldest thing in these photos? Is there anything like a primordial galaxy formation that we can see now?
Also, all PR photo ops aside, has this image (and others) shed any light on things like the shape/age of the universe and how it was originally formed? Or is that analysis coming later
A very redshifted galaxy, so extremely distant and probably among the first galaxies to be created. It's theorized that primitive galaxies are mostly composed of hydrogen and helium.
Are we only capable of seeing half of the universe? Like is our galaxy blocking the other side of the universe? And if we were on the other side of the milkyway would we even see very old galaxies like
If you look at the comparison images you can see there is lensing in Hubble too, Hubble just has lower light gathering power so it's not as obvious. In the Hubble image you can see the lensing as faint red lines
You can see the real power of Webb when you compare the Webb image with the same patch of sky imaged by Hubble. The difference is night and day

The figure of two weeks is wrong, they're referring to the Ultra Deep Field. The exposure time of the Hubble image for this field is only 7.3 hours.
i was kind of disappointed initially but this is pretty impressive if you compare it like this. also hubble took weeks to take its deep field image while webb took 12.5 for this. can't wait to see what else it can do.
It is a bigger upgrade than I originally thought, I'm having hope for these

I mean, it's not that different considering there are 30 plus years between the Hubble and JWST.
I'm glad it's actually working, but the Hubble was legit a game changer for astronomy and invoked a lot of wonder in the world. While these pictures are impressive, it doesn't have the expected punch.
something really fishy going on here way take the same picture from 30 years ago? thats dumb i want to see never before seen crazy shit not photoshooped bs.
The sensors are so cold I'd imagine the noise floor is damn near zero. I wonder if it's possible to pick up integrated flux nebulosity noise in such a small field of view? But I'm just a big dummie so who knows.
You can't really circle only the cluster, because the whole photo is capturing the cluster (SMACS 0723). The galaxies in the "foreground" are the clearer, sharper ones, and the ones in the background are the more warped, blurrier ones
[...]
So it's just a focal effect and not a physical one?
Yes, but the focal effect is from the physical distortion of spacetime
It is a physical one the light is really being bent because all the mass around the galaxy cluster literally bend space and light follows that bent path
The light is actually being "bent" by gravitational fields if that's what your asking. It's not just a trick of the telescopes lens. If you took a picture of the galaxies from the other side of the large stellar masses they would appear normal.
Distance to stars up to a few hundred light years away can be directly measured using parallax (how these stars "move" in the sky as the Earth moves on its orbit). Just apply basig trigonometry and you get the distance. From these stars here you get a relationship between brightness and color, and you apply to stars further away. We can know their color, so we can estimate how bright they really are, and from there we can estimate how far away they are.
For shit REALLY far away (millions to billions of ly away) measurement of the doppler effect caused by the universe's expansion (known because it was measured precisely by measuring a specific type of supernova which always explodes with the same intensity) is used. The redder shifted it is, the further away it is. Galaxies too far away fall into infrared territory, this is why James Webb was fine tuned mostly to measure infrarred frequencies.
Thanks anons. If I were rich I'd dedicate my life to astronomy. It's so fascinating.

Nope. Refraction is wavelength dependent, which lensing is not.

Still waiting for that explanation for why all Einstien rings are blue then

Because most galaxies are starforming and blue. The best lenses are big massive red elliptical galaxies. Hence the rings look very blue in comparison.
Being wavelength dependent wouldn't cause a change in colour. It would mean that multiply lensed quasars would change position with wavelength, which is not observed. ALso the lensing around the Sun is the same in the visible and x-ray, no refractive process works over such a range in wavelength with no dependence.
The more interesting things in my opinion is the most faintest background galaxy dots, and their lack or not of homogeneity across the span of the picture.
Because some direction we take an image in will be towards the center of the universe, and some direction will be towards it's perimeter
Where did all the parrots pick up this false statement?
Infinity means cannot exist at any given time.
Therefore there can not exist right now, or at any given time an infinite amount of galaxies.
Therefore the total quantity of galaxies are in an assembly in relation to one another, therefore they compose roughly some shape that like all shapes have a perimeter and center.

I can look up space wallpapers on google images and get tons of cool pics for free. These nerds spent billions of dollars to get just a few photos that don’t even look cool, what gives?
I’m too pea brain to understand colors.
Does nasa just go “hehe this galaxy will look good in blue” or are we actually able to know what the color of everything is. This is the thing that filters me most about space photos after learning it’s originally in black and white
Someone more informed should comment, but I think they shift the wavelengths. Say you have infrared light from 1000 to 1500 nm. You can divide the wavelength by 2.5 and get a range of 400 to 600 nm. Which is in the visible range.
The thing is it's kinda meaningless to talk about "real" colors. Our eyes would not even be able to see most of this shit because it's shifted so far into the infrared that it's outside the spectrum of visible light. And the rest is so dim that our eyes can't pick up enough light to make out details.
If you could actually go in space and observe the brightest stuff it would mostly look like a fuzzy red/white haze. You wouldn't ever be able to actually see such details as you can from telescopes.
The best way to get a good idea of this is to get a good pair of binoculars and go out on a very dark night and look for the Andromeda galaxy. It will appear as a very diffuse patch of white light.
All the colors you see from telescope images do correspond to certain wavelengths though, so they are internally consistent and that's all that matters.

A more exciting conspiracy to think about than /misc/schizos talking about how space isn't real and the earth is flat. Alien civilizations are exciting (and somewhat horrifying).
Seriously I'm sure theres an explanation but why aren't we looking at closer bodies to see them in the best detail possible.
Maybe it's because these scientists all know we are trapped in our solar system for another 10k-100k years if not forever due to having no feasible way to travel FtL.
By current tech we'd need multiple generations of people devoting their entire lives on one vessel just travel to alpha centauri, one way

They are. Next bunch of photos to be released will include stuff in our own galaxy. Later on it's supposed to be taking some closeups of Jupiter.

It's just not that impressive. I'm sorry. It's cool, but just not that impressive.
People don't care about the stars and the only reason ancients cared about them is because they thought they influenced behavior (in reality they just act as clocks).
And it's also so much bigger than almost all the other visible galaxies. Imagine how fricking massive it must be if it's so far away and appears so big
Reminder that according to flat earthers all of these pics are photoshopped because we lack the tech to go into space, let alone tech being something you can physically go to

This deep field, taken by Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam), is a composite made from images at different wavelengths, totaling 12.5 hours – achieving depths at infrared wavelengths beyond the Hubble Space Telescope’s deepest fields, which took weeks.
The image shows the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 as it appeared 4.6 billion years ago. The combined mass of this galaxy cluster acts as a gravitational lens, magnifying much more distant galaxies behind it. Webb’s NIRCam has brought those distant galaxies into sharp focus – they have tiny, faint structures that have never been seen before, including star clusters and diffuse features. Researchers will soon begin to learn more about the galaxies’ masses, ages, histories, and compositions, as Webb seeks the earliest galaxies in the universe.
>Most appear blue with diffraction spikes, forming
>eight-pointed star shapes.
What makes that happen, I thought than was a Lense effect
Thanks.
Can’t they correct for that
It seems like the contrast is too high - you can see much more behind those fuzzy galaxies near the middle, than in the rest of the image. Does the image use the correct gamma correction?
What is in this picture? Anything cool? Can we zoom in to those blobs of light or is this the highest resolution?
which galaxy has the hottest babes
Call me crazy but why is it look so artificial?
Not enough trees

It's a shit image. This one is better.
Thanks!
bc it's false color and made to look as if it were seen through conventional optics. almost all of the data is infrared but they also need to justify themselves to the public
Because what you think is real is based on your own experiences even if those are fakes and what you see now is real. You basically associate how it should look from what you have gathered from video games or tv shows or even just how the sky looks during the night and then your brain hits you with the "this aint like the stuff we know chief" which makes you think it's not real. A lot of space stuff looks fake because of this effect, for instance all space photos look crispier than reality because there's no soft blur with distance due to air and shadows are sharp with no sky which makes them look unnatural. There's basically no real reason to be embarrassed, it's a trap most brainlets fall into.
>JWST FRICK MY SHIT UP
how long were you waiting to use that?
>im drunk homie
>there exists an angle visible to intelligent life capable of creating telescopes that has our own Milky Way Galaxy getting warped by the gravitational lensing from a star nearby to them

Update: On Friday, July 8th, NASA released the targets for Webb's first wave of full-color scientific images that mark the official beginning of Webb’s operations. They were selected by an international committee of representatives from NASA, ESA, CSA, and the Space Telescope Science Institute.
Targets are listed below, courtesy of NASA.
Carina Nebula. The Carina Nebula is one of the largest and brightest nebulae in the sky, located approximately 7,600 light-years away in the southern constellation Carina. Nebulae are stellar nurseries where stars form. The Carina Nebula is home to many massive stars, several times larger than the Sun.
WASP-96 b (spectrum). WASP-96 b is a giant planet outside our solar system, composed mainly of gas. The planet, located nearly 1,150 light-years from Earth, orbits its star every 3.4 days. It has about half the mass of Jupiter, and its discovery was announced in 2014.
Southern Ring Nebula. The Southern Ring, or “Eight-Burst” nebula, is a planetary nebula – an expanding cloud of gas, surrounding a dying star. It is nearly half a light-year in diameter and is located approximately 2,000 light-years away from Earth.
Stephan’s Quintet: About 290 million light-years away, Stephan’s Quintet is located in the constellation Pegasus. It is notable for being the first compact galaxy group ever discovered in 1877. Four of the five galaxies within the quintet are locked in a cosmic dance of repeated close encounters.
SMACS 0723: Massive foreground galaxy clusters magnify and distort the light of objects behind them, permitting a deep field view into both the extremely distant and intrinsically faint galaxy populations. Update: On Sunday, NASA announced that the White House would reveal one of the images early on Monday afternoon July 11th at 5:00 PM ET. The event will be streamed live.
July 12 they are releasing the others.
July 26
So what is the oldest thing in these photos? Is there anything like a primordial galaxy formation that we can see now?
Also, all PR photo ops aside, has this image (and others) shed any light on things like the shape/age of the universe and how it was originally formed? Or is that analysis coming later
Me.
The image is from galaxies roughly 100 million years after the big bang
Looks exactly the same as the hubble deep field pic.....
Prettiest one.
looks so good it almost seems fake

don't mind me just here to remind you that inflation is moronic mental gymnastics and penrose is right
same with dark matter. If Dark Matter was real all the galaxies would be jumbled up together.
What is this?
It's so red, point of creation? Hand of God?
a very far away galaxy
A very redshifted galaxy, so extremely distant and probably among the first galaxies to be created. It's theorized that primitive galaxies are mostly composed of hydrogen and helium.
the origin of this red dot probably doesnt even exist anymore right?
>created
By who?
its a recording light. we are being recorded,camera is ON
Are we only capable of seeing half of the universe? Like is our galaxy blocking the other side of the universe? And if we were on the other side of the milkyway would we even see very old galaxies like
My brain is melting

how many souls do you think were captured in this image
0. We're all there is.
Zero. Only Humans have souls.
Hubble did this in 1995
This is lame
I mean besides higher magnification what are we expecting?
Note that the targets to be released soon are mostly in the Milky Way hopefully those turn out well.
Why is there some much lensing in the jwst photo but almost none in hubble's image?
They had decades to scope out a better place to look?
If you look at the comparison images you can see there is lensing in Hubble too, Hubble just has lower light gathering power so it's not as obvious. In the Hubble image you can see the lensing as faint red lines
You can see the real power of Webb when you compare the Webb image with the same patch of sky imaged by Hubble. The difference is night and day
Look at the galaxy that is heavily distorted by gravitational lensing for a really nice comparison of how much better Webb is.
wonder what the capture time is for both images
"This deep field, taken by Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam), is a composite made from images at different wavelengths, totaling 12.5 hours – achieving depths at infrared wavelengths beyond the Hubble Space Telescope’s deepest fields, which took weeks."
https://webbtelescope.org/contents/media/images/2022/038/01G7JGTH21B5GN9VCYAHBXKSD1
The figure of two weeks is wrong, they're referring to the Ultra Deep Field. The exposure time of the Hubble image for this field is only 7.3 hours.
idk man they kinda look the same honestly
Compare these 2 spots
this is barely a jump from 360p to 480p quality
They hired JJ Abrams for more lens flares
i was kind of disappointed initially but this is pretty impressive if you compare it like this. also hubble took weeks to take its deep field image while webb took 12.5 for this. can't wait to see what else it can do.
I wish they had someone at the briefing actually *explain* and contextualize the image. And zoom in on some galaxies.
It is a bigger upgrade than I originally thought, I'm having hope for these
being awesome still.
Me when I go from a 6'' dob to a 12''
I mean, it's not that different considering there are 30 plus years between the Hubble and JWST.
I'm glad it's actually working, but the Hubble was legit a game changer for astronomy and invoked a lot of wonder in the world. While these pictures are impressive, it doesn't have the expected punch.
something really fishy going on here way take the same picture from 30 years ago? thats dumb i want to see never before seen crazy shit not photoshooped bs.
70iq bros unite
It's a test to show how much quicker and better it is compared to the old telescope
>Hubble did this in 1995
No it didn't. That's the Ultra Deep Field, which was done with ACS. Which didn't exist in 1995.
10 billion dollars for this
we could be extending lifespans with that money
>we could be extending lifespans with that money
no thanks
Are the dots you can see in the centre galaxies or noise?
The sensors are so cold I'd imagine the noise floor is damn near zero. I wonder if it's possible to pick up integrated flux nebulosity noise in such a small field of view? But I'm just a big dummie so who knows.
cant wait to see what the release over the next

Thank Biden we finally have James Webb!
So which is the structure creating all the gravitational pull in the centre, or is it a group?
The combined mass of the galaxy cluster creates the gravitational lens effect, magnifying and warping the much more distant galaxies behind it
Circle the galaxy cluster for me pls, like
You can't really circle only the cluster, because the whole photo is capturing the cluster (SMACS 0723). The galaxies in the "foreground" are the clearer, sharper ones, and the ones in the background are the more warped, blurrier ones
Yes, but the focal effect is from the physical distortion of spacetime
So it's just a focal effect and not a physical one?
It is a physical one the light is really being bent because all the mass around the galaxy cluster literally bend space and light follows that bent path
The light is actually being "bent" by gravitational fields if that's what your asking. It's not just a trick of the telescopes lens. If you took a picture of the galaxies from the other side of the large stellar masses they would appear normal.
It's a galaxy cluster right in the middle there's a huge ass one and more smaller ones next to it all the diffuse white lights near the middle
The bigger lights with rays are just nearby stars

moronic question but, how do they tell the difference between a really far away but massive star and closer but smaller star?
for something this far away, redshift
https://nsnsearch.com/faq/how-do-astronomers-use-redshift-to-determine-distances/
Thanks anons. If I were rich I'd dedicate my life to astronomy. It's so fascinating.
cepheids and supernovas
Distance to stars up to a few hundred light years away can be directly measured using parallax (how these stars "move" in the sky as the Earth moves on its orbit). Just apply basig trigonometry and you get the distance. From these stars here you get a relationship between brightness and color, and you apply to stars further away. We can know their color, so we can estimate how bright they really are, and from there we can estimate how far away they are.
For shit REALLY far away (millions to billions of ly away) measurement of the doppler effect caused by the universe's expansion (known because it was measured precisely by measuring a specific type of supernova which always explodes with the same intensity) is used. The redder shifted it is, the further away it is. Galaxies too far away fall into infrared territory, this is why James Webb was fine tuned mostly to measure infrarred frequencies.
>tfw this beautiful galaxy could hold my soul mate but it's to far to ever reach
I wonder whats happening in the hell galaxy
sinning and debauchery
also, it may be hell
I'm going back to listening to schizos and crank theoirists, at least they're entertaining. Defund STEM, science is over.
<<<<<<<<<< >/misc/ is that way
so did they frick up the alignment or are we in wacky land?
Gravitational lensing.
how do the electral universe dudes explain gravitational lensing
Refraction.
Nope. Refraction is wavelength dependent, which lensing is not.
>lensing is not
Still waiting for that explanation for why all Einstien rings are blue then
Because most galaxies are starforming and blue. The best lenses are big massive red elliptical galaxies. Hence the rings look very blue in comparison.
Being wavelength dependent wouldn't cause a change in colour. It would mean that multiply lensed quasars would change position with wavelength, which is not observed. ALso the lensing around the Sun is the same in the visible and x-ray, no refractive process works over such a range in wavelength with no dependence.
The more interesting things in my opinion is the most faintest background galaxy dots, and their lack or not of homogeneity across the span of the picture.
Because some direction we take an image in will be towards the center of the universe, and some direction will be towards it's perimeter
Also any extreme anomalies are intersting.
Also exoplanets
There's no center in the universe. It doesn't even make sense to talk about a "center". You could say it happened everywhere.
Where did all the parrots pick up this false statement?
Infinity means cannot exist at any given time.
Therefore there can not exist right now, or at any given time an infinite amount of galaxies.
Therefore the total quantity of galaxies are in an assembly in relation to one another, therefore they compose roughly some shape that like all shapes have a perimeter and center.
can we apply some ML to remove the gravitational distortion?
kneel.
i was just going to ask WTF is that.
Gravitational lensing :OOO
I look like that
seriously? why the frick would they spend 10 billion for a clown mirror? there must have been a better way.
i know no one here believes in astrology. but these pic are pure horror to me. i can only imagine the horrors going on in them galaxy's right now 🙁
there has to be billions upon billions of aliens having fricking in those galaxies...
having what?
Think about all the alien music made with different materials in different densities of atmosphere.
Think of all the different alien architecture, and sports, and fashion styles.
ok great? think all the fricked up experiments they have done to animals. maybe they have no morals like us. i hate the fricking place so much its nothing but hellish. we have morals and Russians used a entire town the full of people to test nukes on for like 40 years. just imagine the horrors all these homosexuals are doing. we kill 6 billion animals a year to feed our selfs just to make shitty music and movies and buildings
Doesn’t matter if you stepped on 1 bug or killed trillions of cows, it’s still death caused by our selfishness. Might as well take what’s ours
the death is not the issue we do it in the most horrible ways possible to max out the suffering. its even way worse now that we have the ability to grow lab meat.
...Production which if halted immediately and reworked to be more “humane” (they aren’t even humans doofus) would starve millions because they don’t have access to other foods. We’re in too deep as it stands
i really hope at your death you get a life review and you are forced to exp all the pain and suffering caused by factory farming in the last 60 years. then pinhead shows up and takes you hell and you exp pain and suffering that you can not even comprehend. fricking ignorant homosexual.
>I have never seen a farm before in my entire life
come on are you trolling? do you know how chickens are raised?
man frick them chickens. god your so fricking insufferable. muh morals muh self rightousness. theres no fricking use crying and whining like a fat fricking man child. No shit reality sucks, boo fricking hoo. what are you going do about it meaning wise? cause crying and hassling this thread does fricking nothing. How bout you go frick off and enjoy life you miserable frick.
And what are you doing that’s so productive for the cause? If the crimes being committed were so deplorable you’d surely do something about it, rather than arguing with some consumer schmuck who has nothing to do with the issue at large?
that's the worst part is helplessness
stop being a part of the problem and work towards a solution by offing yourself, doomer
what the super bright ones? massive stars?
just nearby stars
Nah, probably normal very close stars inside our own galaxy.
no it's 2 galaxies billions of light years apart

there is no real advantage since it makes up data, it's just playing around

first picture of years to come, get a rest
I can look up space wallpapers on google images and get tons of cool pics for free. These nerds spent billions of dollars to get just a few photos that don’t even look cool, what gives?
oh wow it's fricking nothing
wow, galaxies that no human or posthuman will ever interact with. show me exoplanets with alien babes to conquer in the milky way.
The point of these is to gain an understanding of the early stages of the universe
So does this mean they can use this technology to zoom in on Proxima Centauri to see if there's fricking life already?
No. We'd need Earth sized telescopes to see that level of detail from this far away.
Signs of advanced life like satelites around the planet (would this be detected if some planet had weird light reflections?) maybe?
And also it hard to zoom into the planet without being blinded by its star?
I’m too pea brain to understand colors.
Does nasa just go “hehe this galaxy will look good in blue” or are we actually able to know what the color of everything is. This is the thing that filters me most about space photos after learning it’s originally in black and white
I would also like to know this
Someone more informed should comment, but I think they shift the wavelengths. Say you have infrared light from 1000 to 1500 nm. You can divide the wavelength by 2.5 and get a range of 400 to 600 nm. Which is in the visible range.
The thing is it's kinda meaningless to talk about "real" colors. Our eyes would not even be able to see most of this shit because it's shifted so far into the infrared that it's outside the spectrum of visible light. And the rest is so dim that our eyes can't pick up enough light to make out details.
If you could actually go in space and observe the brightest stuff it would mostly look like a fuzzy red/white haze. You wouldn't ever be able to actually see such details as you can from telescopes.
The best way to get a good idea of this is to get a good pair of binoculars and go out on a very dark night and look for the Andromeda galaxy. It will appear as a very diffuse patch of white light.
All the colors you see from telescope images do correspond to certain wavelengths though, so they are internally consistent and that's all that matters.

A more exciting conspiracy to think about than /misc/schizos talking about how space isn't real and the earth is flat. Alien civilizations are exciting (and somewhat horrifying).
Seriously I'm sure theres an explanation but why aren't we looking at closer bodies to see them in the best detail possible.
Maybe it's because these scientists all know we are trapped in our solar system for another 10k-100k years if not forever due to having no feasible way to travel FtL.
By current tech we'd need multiple generations of people devoting their entire lives on one vessel just travel to alpha centauri, one way
Resolution is limited by the size of the telescope aperture
EHT but with optical interferometers when?
>Seriously I'm sure theres an explanation but why aren't we looking at closer bodies to see them in the best detail possible.
They are. Next bunch of photos to be released will include stuff in our own galaxy. Later on it's supposed to be taking some closeups of Jupiter.

>what has this done to advance us?
You could ask the same question about any form of discovery, experiment, engineering feat, work of art. What do you mean by "advance us?" Increase the GDP? More Hot Pockets flavors? Hot Pockets wouldn't exist without the long history of food sciences, microwave technology, etc.
The rest of the internet is subconscious blackpilling -- a facade of happy fun life surrounding a world built on suffering and misery, designed to make you feel depressed and powerless. IQfy is just overt direct blackpilling: poisoning the well, abandoning all sense of wonder at this incredible world and universe that surrounds it. Reject it. Appreciate beauty. You don't have to believe in God to accept the possibility that there could be a God, and that there could be immeasurable beauty outside of the forced misery of the modern world. Shills and unhappy people want you to give up and to not experience joy. Frick them
Webb could easily make a video, at 24 pictures per second, right? It would be cool if they took a video of a pulsar, showing the nebulas/dust clouds around it lighting up with every rotation.
That's a good question actually - I know I read something a while back about time studies but I don't remember the exactly details.
All this stuff is meaningless, even with a magic fast spaceship, it would the take the time the entire history of the human race x4000 for us to reach any of this.
Any astronomy past the solar system is a waste of time for at least the next 400 years
Found a faint red sus galaxy.
Absolutely mind blowing. All those galaxies, each one with billions or even trillions of stars, planets and who knows what else.
Just got off a long plane trip and this is the first thing I see when I finally get home and turn on IQfy. Awesome, no irony at all.
any reason why we cant use these telescopes (that are zooming in billions of lightyears away) on planets 10000000000x closer and have documented where they are, like any of the terrestrial we've found? I don't get why we don't just capture an upclose pic of these planets
>inb4 it's impossible to physically locate the planet
that's BS
They're too small and dim.
Planets are too small and look underwhelming compared to deep spacecraft photos.
Because even though the galaxies are billions and billions of light years away they are still billions and billions and billions of times bigger and brighter than any planet
Because then it would be obvious planets are flat. They're early with this lensing bullcrap before they look at closer things.
ok lensing effect is cool and so on but do we know how to undo it (in a perfcet manner) to make an accurate picture?
Why is the lensing all over the place? Seems fake.

Look at this absolute unit right here. I think it's the most redshifted of all the galaxies in the image and it's entirely invisible in the hubble field. It's literally one of the first galaxies.
It being so bright still implies that we're looking at an active quasar

why is the image quality so bad? did they use an android camera?
