To anyone looking for information about the infrared color mapping, it's buried on the webbtelescope.org page:
- "In this case, the assigned colors are: Red: F444W Orange: F356W Green: F200W + F277W Blue: F090W + F150W"

You can reference JWST's NIRCam filters here. The longest wavelength this image is 4.4 µm, and the shortest is 0.9 µm (900 nm).

- aimor 4y agoThank you! I was going to ask before I saw this.
- SomeHacker44 4y agoWill they eventually release "raw" images, that is, from each filter at high bit depths? Each exposure if there are multiple? I don't know much but it would be interesting to see how each channel differs, for example, and what that means scientifically.
- prpl 4y agoyes - probably already is, i’d the dataset is actually public now (MAST archive probably). Usually is in FITS format with associated metadata. PNG is obviously useless for numerical analysis.
