PBS NOVA starting a episode on Webb right now. At least here.
.
I don't have cable, so I expect a full report on my desk in the a.m. thanks.
cool. I'm watching it. thanks.
Sweet! I'm going to bed.
Typical boss. Go to bed- have the report on my desk first thing.
I guess that would make you the incompetent employee that continually disappoints.

maybe those are galaxies. maybe those are filters.

basically NASA is using instagram filters on space now.
So basically these pictures are artist renderings of how scientist think outer space should look.

that's sort of what it looks like. a computer gets to use a little artistic license to clean up whatever the Webb sees.

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.

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.

Is it doctoring the image or is it processing the data? Are you implying they may not be accurate?

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.

I am not suggesting anything nefarious. But the images are enhanced (cough, cough).

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.
