JWST and Me
Processing by Warren Keller, taken by the James Webb Space Telescope
The famous Pillars of Creation in the Eagle Nebula (M16) look like ghostly wraiths in this near-infrared view taken by the James Webb Space Telescope. To make this version, Keller downloaded JWST’s raw data from its public archives and processed it on his own. You can compare it to the version released by NASA here.
To learn how to process JWST data to create your own images, check out Keller’s guide in our September 2024 issue.
