Minmus Taster Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 I'm confused, the image is stunning but is it infrared or visible light? NASA did say in press releases that the image would be "full color". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeSchmuckatelli Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I was hoping they'd just publish the images, along with some comments by astronomers about what we are seeing and how Webb is helping advance the field. However, I reread the announcement and they describe it as an "unveiling". To my mind, that's an event... And after last night's dog and po-yawn-ny show, I may have it on mute. Politicians and administrators, yada-yada-blah-blah-blah... Here's one image every half hour. The saving grace will be if they get Michelle Thaller to narrate again, as they did for the launch. That was top notch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeSchmuckatelli Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) AW-SNAP - they're doing it right! She's narrating and it's good! First Images From the James Webb Space Telescope | NASA Okay - actually, it's a bit hackneyed. They could have used a bit more professional camera and directorial crew, and much better comms to the remote locations. Blurred web-cam level stuff to India, and 80's level 'are you there? Ted? Okay, we'll come back to Ted in a bit...' talks to other collaborators in remote locations. Edited July 12, 2022 by JoeSchmuckatelli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeSchmuckatelli Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I love Michelle Thaller's attempts to keep this awesome - but they really need to look at how they produced/directed this. Full excitement mode, so I can easily forgive it... but this needs a LOT of post-production editing before they publish it on TV for the general public. Too much technical difficulties, sound problems, overtalk, hot mic-ing, and playing the music too loud over narration. Still - AWESOME!!! 5 minutes ago, Minmus Taster said: Carina Nebula: I'm in awe of this... Stephan's Quartet - and the BH is amazing... but this? Wowzers!
