Why are you so cynical? This shit blows my mind.
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.
Is it doctoring the image or is it processing the data? Are you implying they may not be accurate?
JCW, don't listen to these "eggheads". I can explain.
Lol

As I said before, the pictures are artists renditions of what the professional "scientist" think things ought to look.

Same kind of thing the Kardashians do. That's all I'm sayin'.

A star duo has created a stunning "fingerprint" in space.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope unveiled the remarkable sight in a new image released Tuesday. At least 17 dust rings appear to radiate from a pair of stars.

The pair of stars, known as Wolf-Rayet 140, is located more than 5,000 light years from Earth. According to NASA, each ring was created when the stars became close enough for their stellar winds to met – compressing gas and forming dust.

This happens about once every eight years, NASA says, so the rings display the passage of time.

"The shells of dust are formed each time the stars reach a point in their orbit where they are closest to each other and their stellar winds interact," Ryan Lau, an astronomer at NSF’s NOIRLab and lead author of a new study about Wolf-Rayet 140, wrote in a NASA blog post.

Neptune:New images from James Webb Space Telescope showcase Neptune and its rarely seen rings

"The even spacing between the shells indicates that dust formation events are occurring like clockwork, once in each eight-year orbit. In this case, the 17 shells can be counted like tree rings, showing more than 130 years of dust formation," Lau added.

Okay, so this is wild.

"Each of the candidate galaxies may have existed at the dawn of the universe roughly 500 to 700 million years after the Big Bang, or more than 13 billion years ago. They’re also gigantic, containing almost as many stars as the modern-day Milky Way Galaxy."

There's a new episode of Nova tonight - "New Eye on the Universe".

Synopsis:

In July 2022, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope released its first images, looking further back in time than ever before to show our universe in stunningly beautiful detail. But that was just the beginning: With tons of new data and spectacular images flooding in, Webb is allowing scientists to peer deep in time to try to answer some of astronomy's biggest questions. When – and how – did the first stars and galaxies form? And can we see the fingerprints of life in the atmospheres of distant exoplanets – or even within our own solar system?

thank you so much for this heads up. without this, i probably would have spent that hour watching Ice Road Truckers or Lizard Lick Towing.
