Imagen de ARP 220 capturada por Webb cámara cercana (nircam) y 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 18,000 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 120,000 años luz de ancho.
Esta imagen muestra longitudes de onda infrarrojas invisibles de luz que se han traducido en colores de luz visible. La tecla de color muestra qué filtros 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 Image | |
| Color Info | These images are a composite of separate exposures acquired by the James Webb Space Telescope using the NIRCam and MIRI instruments. 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: F090W, F150W Green: F200W Orange: F277W + F770W Red: F356W +444W + F1130W |
| 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. |
