NGC 1365 processed

With the public release of some of the initial JWST images it is possible to download and process the raw data yourself.

 

This object is the NGC 1365, the "Great Barred Spiral Galaxy", meaning it has a bar of stars at the centre with spiral arms further out.

 

Images from four infrared wavelengths from the NIRCAM and MIRI instruments have been combined, the choice of mapping these images into an RGB colour space is left up to the end user.
