Imagen del quinteto de Stephan, HCG 92, capturado por Webb's Instrumento inferior a mediados (Miri), con flechas de compras, barra de escala y clave de color para referencia. en el cielo. Tenga en cuenta que la relación entre el norte y el este en el cielo (como se ve desde abajo) se voltea en relación con las flechas de dirección en un mapa del suelo (como se ve desde arriba).
La barra de escala está etiquetada en años luz, que es la distancia que la luz viaja en un año terrestre. (La luz tarda 100,000 años en viajar a una distancia igual a la longitud de la barra). Un año luz es igual a aproximadamente 5.88 billones de millas o 9.46 billones de kilómetros. El campo de visión que se muestra en esta imagen es de aproximadamente 620,000 años luz de ancho.
Esta imagen muestra longitudes de onda de luz cercana y media invisibles que se han traducido en colores de luz visible. La tecla de color muestra qué filtros Nircam y Miri se usaron al recolectar la luz. El color de cada nombre del filtro es el color de luz visible utilizado para representar la luz infrarroja que pasa a través de ese filtro.

| About The Data | |
| Data Description | This image was created with Webb data from proposal . It is part of Webb Early Release Observations. The Early Release Observations and associated materials were developed, executed, and compiled by the ERO production team: Jaclyn Barrientes, Claire Blome, Hannah Braun, Matthew Brown, Margaret Carruthers, Dan Coe, Joseph DePasquale, Nestor Espinoza, Macarena Garcia Marin, Karl Gordon, Alaina Henry, Leah Hustak, Andi James, Ann Jenkins, Anton Koekemoer, Stephanie LaMassa, David Law, Alexandra Lockwood, Amaya Moro-Martin, Susan Mullally, Alyssa Pagan, Dani Player, Klaus Pontoppidan, Charles Proffitt, Christine Pulliam, Leah Ramsay, Swara Ravindranath, Neill Reid, Massimo Robberto, Elena Sabbi, Leonardo Ubeda. The EROs were also made possible by the foundational efforts and support from the JWST instruments, STScI planning and scheduling, Data Management teams, and Office of Public Outreach. |
| Instrument | NIRCam, MIRI |
| Exposure Dates | NIRCam: 11 June 2022; MIRI: 11-12 June, 1 July 2022 |
| Filters | NIRCam>F090W, F150W, F200W, F277W, F365W, F444W MIRI>F770W, F1000W |
| About The Image | |
| Color Info | These images are a composite of separate exposures acquired by the James Webb Space Telescope using the MIRI and NIRCam instruments. Several filters were used to sample broad wavelength ranges. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic (grayscale) image associated with an individual filter. In this case, the assigned colors are: Red: F356W+ F444W Orange: F1000W Yellow: F277W + F770W Green: F200W Blue: F090W + F150W |
| About The Object | |
|---|---|
| Object Name | A name or catalog number that astronomers use to identify an astronomical object. |
| Object Description | The type of astronomical object. |
| R.A. Position | Right ascension – analogous to longitude – is one component of an object's position. |
| Dec. Position | Declination – analogous to latitude – is one component of an object's position. |
| Constellation | One of 88 recognized regions of the celestial sphere in which the object appears. |
| Distance | The physical distance from Earth to the astronomical object. Distances within our solar system are usually measured in Astronomical Units (AU). Distances between stars are usually measured in light-years. Interstellar distances can also be measured in parsecs. |
| Dimensions | The physical size of the object or the apparent angle it subtends on the sky. |
| About The Data | |
| Data Description |
|
| Instrument | The science instrument used to produce the data. |
| Exposure Dates | The date(s) that the telescope made its observations and the total exposure time. |
