Urano ancho (imagen de compass nircam)

Esta imagen de Urano, capturada por la cámara de infrarrojo cercano de Webb (NIRCAM), muestra flechas de brújulas, barra de escala y clave de color para referencia.

Las flechas de brújulas 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).

La barra de escala está etiquetada con 16 arcos. La longitud de la barra de escala es aproximadamente un séptimo el ancho total de la imagen

Esta imagen muestra longitudes de onda de luz cercana al infrarrojo invisibles que se han traducido en colores de luz visible. La tecla de color muestra qué filtros Nircam 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 Object
Object Name Uranus
Object Description Planet
About The Data
Data Description This image was created from JWST data from proposal: (K. Pontoppidan)
Instrument NIRCam
Exposure Dates 04 September 2023
Filters F140M, F210M, F300M, F460M
About The Image
Color Info These images are a composite of separate exposures acquired by the James Webb Space Telescope using the NIRCam instrument. Several filters were used to sample medium 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: F140M, Cyan: F210M, Yellow: F300M, Orange: F460M
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.
