James Webb Telescope Issue - 17

Feature
Stunning Images from the James Webb
Space Telescope in its Early Months
of Operation
These provide much new data as well, probing the infrared (IR) portion of the spectrum which was not visible
to many previous telescopes, and certainly not at this level of detail. While from an anthropic perspective these
are false-color images, they have been made by mapping the IR wavelengths to visible wavelengths, giving the
same effect as if the cones in your eyes responded to much longer wavelengths. This data is useful for many
scientific inquiries, from the study of exoplanets to the origins of the universe, but here the images also give us
a chance to again be in awe of the scope and beauty of our universe.
Stephan's Quintet, a group of five galaxies, as imaged by Webb's Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI). Four of the five galaxies are about 290 million light
years away, and the fifth is 40 million light years away.
