Esta es una imagen del clúster WHL0137-08 Galaxy, que incluye la galaxia de arco del amanecer, con flechas de brújulas, barra de escala y llave de color. Las flechas de la brújula norte y este muestran la orientación de la imagen 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 en arriba).
Esta imagen muestra longitudes de onda de luz infrarroja invisibles que se han traducido en colores de luz visible. La tecla de color muestra qué filtros NIRCAM (cámara de infrarrojo cercano) 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. Debajo de la imagen se encuentra una tecla de color que muestra qué filtros de Nircam se usaron para crear la imagen y qué color de luz visible se asigna a cada filtro.

| About The Data | |
| Data Description | This image was created with Webb data from proposal: (J. Coe) |
| Instrument | NIRCam |
| Exposure Dates | 30 July 2022, 01 Jan 2023 |
| Filters | F090W, F115W, F150W, F200W, F277W, F356W, F410M, F444W |
| About The Image | |
| Color Info | This image is a composite of separate exposures acquired by the James Webb Space Telescope using the NIRCam instrument. Several filters were used to sample specific 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 + F115W + F150W, Cyan: F200W, Green: F277W, Yellow: F356W, Orange: F410M, Red: F444W |
| 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. |
| Filters | The camera filters that were used in the science observations. |
| About The Image | |
