The first color photographs taken with the James Webb Space Telescope, which was sent into space in December and started its activities at the beginning of the summer, were shared by NASA on 12 July. The images obtained by the telescope were strikingly beautiful.
On the other hand, the images obtained with James Webb, of course, will not remain hidden in the archives forever as they are. These images will be evaluated together with data obtained in the past and to be obtained in the future. Today, one of the first examples of this was shared.
Images obtained by James Webb:
The X-rays obtained between 2000 and 2014 by the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, which NASA sent into space in 1999, and the infrared images we saw in James Webb’s first images were brought together. The data combined with the first photographs made the celestial structures much more detailed and rich.
