Webb y Hubble compararon HUDF (imagen de Nircam)

Las capacidades de la cámara de infrarrojo de James Webb Space Telescope de la NASA están en exhibición completa en esta comparación entre la observación de Hubble y Webb del campo Ultra Deep Hubble. La izquierda, que demuestra la observación de Hubble con su cámara de campo ancho 3, requirió un tiempo de exposición de 11.3 días, mientras que la derecha solo tomó 0.83 días. Varias áreas dentro de la imagen Webb revelan galaxias rojos previamente invisibles.

About The Object
Object Name HUDF, Hubble Ultra Deep Field
R.A. Position 03:32:39.99
Dec. Position -27:47:00.00
Constellation Fornax
About The Data
Data Description This image was created with Webb data from proposal: (C. Williams).
Instrument MIRI
Exposure Dates October 11, 2022
Filters F182M, F210M, F430M, F460M, F480M
About The Image
Color Info These images are a composite of separate exposures acquired by the James Webb Space Telescope using the MIRI instrument. Several filters were used to sample wide 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: Blue: F182M, Cyan: F210M, Green: F430M, Orange: F460M, Red: F480M
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
