Interesting - when I zoom in (to the 'detail' box) it looks very striated : i'm seeing what appears to be some sort of 45 degree diagnoal scanning procedure. Is this from the source or some sort of artifact of PNG? (zoom into the top left box which says 'detail')
- perihelions 4y agoThe text caption explains that; C-f for "microshutter array". The one you zoomed in on is a spectrograph that's not meant to take photos.
- xmddmx 4y agoOK, but I think if you announce "super good quality" or similar, people are going to zoom in and look at your pictures. Artifacts should be explained to head off confusion?

- mturmon 4y agoAs @perihelions just noted, the explanation for the stripes you can see is provided in the article, just as you seem to be hoping for?
- dylan604 4y agoas always, context is key. "super good quality" refers to the comparison of the Spitzer and Webb images. it's clear that whever the alignment process is currently (as in, not finished yet), it is far far better resolution and results than the Spitzer was ever able to achieve. this is what has everyone excited. not that there's some artifacts in the image, but that even at this stage of the game it is already much much better and there's still room for improving during further alignment and other software tweaking.
