Astronomers solve mystery of "little red dots" spotted by James Webb Space Telescope
Ever since NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope was launched, it’s been revealing more about the universe than even most astronomers expected. Some of the data JWST has sent back to Earth have been awe-inspiring, but some of it has been downright confusing or challenging to dominant theories in cosmology.
Are James Webb Space Telescope images really so colorful?
When Pagan and DePasquale first receive the images, they appear in black and white. The colors are added to the image later, as the data from the various filters are translated into the spectrum of visible light, Pagan explained. The longest wavelengths appear red, while the shorter wavelengths are blue or purple.
