Need a new perspective? Here’s some Webb-inspired #MondayMotivation: Sometimes, seeing clearly requires looking at things with a fresh set of eyes. When you’re able to peer through the dust, that’s when you can reveal even more stars. ✨ Compared to @nasahubble’s view at the start of the video, Webb's infrared vision is able to cut through the curtain of dust, revealing many more stars in the landscape. - Image Description: This video transitions from a Hubble image of the Carina Nebula to the same region as seen by Webb. Both images are divided between a blue “sky” dotted with stars and an orange-brown “mountain range” below it. The brown “mountainous” area features a prominent knob sticking out on the left side. Starting with the Hubble image, the blue portion is a more faded color and mixed with shades of green. Some pink points of starlight, each with 4 diffraction spikes, poke through the blue. The orange-brown portion is dusty, and the few stars that can be seen are only tiny dots of pinkish red. As the video fades into the Webb image, we see that Webb’s blue portion is much more rich, dark and vivid in color. Compared to Hubble, a multitude of stars in shades of light orange and blue are visible, including two giant six-pointed stars on the very right. The orange-brown portion is also dotted with stars galore, each with a set of 6 diffraction spikes. #JWST #Hubble #Nebula #Star #UnfoldTheUniverse #JamesWebbSpaceTelescope #NASA
