So basically these pictures are artist renderings of how scientist think outer space should look.

Re: Finally- Next Gen James Webb Telescope set for launch
that's sort of what it looks like. a computer gets to use a little artistic license to clean up whatever the Webb sees.

Why are you so cynical? This shit blows my mind.

Re: Finally- Next Gen James Webb Telescope set for launch
i am kidding. it was just a little strange to find out that computers doctor the shit out of these images the telescope takes so that they make more sense to our brains when we see them. not so different than what a Kardashian does.

Re: Finally- Next Gen James Webb Telescope set for launch
If you look at this photo, you can actually see 5 of Neptune's moons. 2 on the right, 3 on the left. In that bottom wider angle photo, that really bright object upper left is Titan, it's largest moon. Or so I read.

Re: Finally- Next Gen James Webb Telescope set for launch
Is it doctoring the image or is it processing the data? Are you implying they may not be accurate?

Re: Finally- Next Gen James Webb Telescope set for launch
The telescope doesn’t use visible light. The wave length they use has to be translated into colors we can see. So maybe there are shenanigans that help keep the money coming.

Re: Finally- Next Gen James Webb Telescope set for launch
Triton is almost exactly the same size as our Moon.
Our "Moon" in the upper left.
Triton in the lower left.
Earth in the right.
All to scale with each other.
