International scientists affiliated with the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Scientific Survey (CEERS) have been introduced “Era 1” mosaic in full color with data collected by James Webb Space Telescope.
CEERS collaboration revealed a sneak peek at Epoch 1, as Steven Finkelstein (CEERS Project Director) ad View of a galaxy that could have existed 290 million years after the Big Bang.
Scientists explain that the mural covers an area eight times larger than James Webb’s “first deep field”, moreover, It consists of 690 individual frames captured with an infrared camera.
As can be seen in the picture, there Six important points:
- spiral galaxy: The infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
- Bright redshift galaxy: This place contains several galaxies that appear in the form of an arc.
- Interactive system of galaxies.
- two spiral galaxies: A white arrow indicates a supernova detected by the James Webb Space Telescope.
- Another spiral galaxy.
- Galaxy, tidal tail and group of red galaxies in the background.
Due to the abundance of very distant candidate galaxies that have been discovered since James Webb began his mission, unrelated cosmic phenomena can bombard the data and pollute the results.
Rebecca Larson (a doctoral student in astronomy at the University of Texas at Austin and a member of the CEERS Collaboration) notes in her Twitter profile that “I hope you are as inspired and excited about this telescope and data as I have been. I am very lucky to share it with you and hope you find your favorite galaxies.” It’s new, too.”
I’ve been spending *time* just browsing and staring at this photo for the past weeks. I pulled out some of my favorite galaxies and sections (I was limited to 6, it was rough) to highlight them. You might recognize a few of these from Twitter because of my inability to be silent 😂 pic.twitter.com/cJsVyXwuqL
