To make the image, in general the shortest wavelengths of light were color-coded blue, the longest wavelengths red, and intermediate wavelengths green. The resulting wavelength coverage, from 0.4 to 5 microns, reveals a vivid landscape of galaxies that could be described as one of the most colorful views of the universe ever created.MACS0416 is a galaxy cluster located about 4.3 billion light-years from Earth, meaning that light we see now left the cluster shortly after the formation of our solar system. This cluster magnifies the light from more distant background galaxies through gravitational lensing. As a result, the research team has been able to identify magnified supernovae and even very highly magnified individual stars.Those colors give clues to galaxy distances: The bluest galaxies are relatively nearby and often show intense star formation, as best detected by Hubble, while the redder galaxies tend to be more distant, or else contain copious amount of dust, as detected by Webb. The image reveals a wealth of details that are only possible to capture by combining the power of both space telescopes.In this image, blue represents data at wavelengths of 0.435 and 0.606 microns (Hubble filters F435W and F606W); cyan is 0.814, 0.9, and 1.05 microns (Hubble filters F814W, and F105W and Webb filter F090W); green is 1.15, 1.25, 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6 microns (Hubble filters F125W, F140W, and F160W, and Webb filters F115W and F150W); yellow is 2.00 and 2.77 microns (Webb filters F200W, and F277W); orange is 3.56 microns (Webb filter F356W); and red represents data at 4.1 and 4.44 microns (Webb filters F410M and F444W). || STScI-01HDHAVM4K4220Z79YTMP1K7VM-composite_print.jpg (1024x949) [349.8 KB] || STScI-01HDHAVM4K4220Z79YTMP1K7VM-composite.png (4457x4133) [34.6 MB] || STScI-01HDHAVM4K4220Z79YTMP1K7VM-composite-hw.png (3840x2160) [9.6 MB] || STScI-01HDHAVM4K4220Z79YTMP1K7VM-composite_searchweb.png (320x180) [105.9 KB] || STScI-01HDHAVM4K4220Z79YTMP1K7VM-composite_thm.png (80x40) [13.0 KB] || webb-and-hubble-combine-to-create-most-colorful-view-of-universe-composite-image.hwshow [394 bytes] || ", "hits": 161 }, { "id": 14587, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14587/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2024-05-17T09:55:00-04:00", "title": "Hubble’s Inside the Image: Refsdal", "description": "NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has taken an image of a lensing galaxy cluster that caught the same supernova, nicknamed Refsdal, exploding four different times!In this video, Dr. Brian Welch explains this breathtaking image and how important Hubble is to exploring the mysteries of the universe.For more information, visit https://nasa.gov/hubble.

When one star in the sky appears to pass nearly in front of another, the light rays of the background source star become bent due to the warped space-time around the foreground star. This star is then a virtual magnifying glass, amplifying the brightness of the background source star, so we refer to the foreground star as the lens star. If the lens star harbors a planetary system, then those planets can also act as lenses, each one producing a short deviation in the brightness of the source. Thus we discover the presence of exoplanets, and measure its mass and separation from its star.

These powerful outbursts in a known gravitational lens provided the key to making the measurement. Astronomers classify B0218+357 as a blazar, a type of active galaxy noted for intense outbursts. At the blazar's heart is a supersized black hole with a mass millions to billions of times that of the sun. As matter spirals toward this black hole, some of it blasts outward as jets of particles traveling near the speed of light in opposite directions.Long before light from B0218+357 reaches us, it passes directly through a spiral galaxy – one much like our own – located 4.03 billion light-years away. The galaxy's gravity bends the light into different paths, so astronomers see the background blazar as dual images. But these paths aren't the same length, which means that when one image flares, there's a delay of many days before the other does.While radio and optical telescopes can resolve and monitor the individual blazar images, Fermi's LAT cannot. Instead, the Fermi team exploited the playback delay between the images. In September 2012, when the blazar's flaring activity made it the brightest gamma-ray source outside of our own galaxy, Fermi scientists took advantage of the opportunity by using a week of dedicated LAT time to hunt for delayed flares. Three episodes of flares showing playback delays of 11.46 days were found, with the strongest evidence in a sequence of flares captured during the week-long LAT observations. || ", "hits": 130 }, { "id": 30094, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/30094/", "result_type": "Hyperwall Visual", "release_date": "2013-10-17T12:00:00-04:00", "title": "Chandra and the Bullet Cluster", "description": "This composite image shows the galaxy cluster 1E 0657-56, also known as the \"bullet cluster.\" This cluster was formed after the collision of two large clusters of galaxies, the most energetic event known in the universe since the Big Bang. Hot gas detected by Chandra in X-rays is seen as two pink clumps in the image and contains most of the \"normal,\" or baryonic, matter in the two clusters. The bullet-shaped clump on the right is the hot gas from one cluster, which passed through the hot gas from the other larger cluster during the collision. An optical image from Magellan and the Hubble Space Telescope shows the galaxies in orange and white. The blue areas in this image show where astronomers find most of the mass in the clusters. The concentration of mass is determined using the effect of so-called gravitational lensing, where light from the distant objects is distorted by intervening matter. Most of the matter in the clusters (blue) is clearly separate from the normal matter (pink), giving direct evidence that nearly all of the matter in the clusters is dark. The animation below shows an artist's representation of the huge collision in the bullet cluster. Hot gas, containing most of the normal matter in the cluster, is shown in red and dark matter is in blue. During the collision the hot gas in each cluster is slowed and distorted by a drag force, similar to air resistance. In contrast, the dark matter is not slowed by the impact, because it does not interact directly with itself or the gas except through gravity, and separates from the normal matter. || ", "hits": 347 }, { "id": 40139, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/gallery/fermi-nature-universe/", "result_type": "Gallery", "release_date": "2013-08-05T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Fermi: Nature of the Universe", "description": "Dark matter, the fabric of space-time, gravitational lensing.
