Summary
[edit]DescriptionHubble's Lagoon in Visible & Near-Infrared (41189790975).png |
English: Another version of the anniversary dataset, this time with visible and near-infrared imagery combined into a single image. The pinks and cyans in the visible light version give way for near-infrared wavelengths by shifting into greens and deep blues. Now the near-infrared wavelengths comprise all the reds and oranges of the image. The gas and dust fade like ghosts, becoming nearly transparent, revealing many hundreds of stars once hidden from view.
One of my favorite things to do is to combine unusual or complicated datasets together. ps - The original news release for the near-infrared only image is here, just in case you missed it. hubblesite.org/image/4151/news_release/2018-21 Data from the following proposal comprises this image: ptical and infrared imaging of the Lagoon Nebula (M8) There is also a WOW page providing direct access to data: STScI Outreach Imaging of M8 (Lagoon Nebula) - April 2018 Red: WFC3/IR F160W Orange: WFC3/IR F125W Yellow-Green: WFC3/UVIS F658N Green-Blue: WFC3/UVIS F656N Cyan: WFC3/UVIS F547M Blue: WFC3/UVIS F502N North is NOT up. It is 133.99° clockwise from up. |
