A new photo captured by the James Webb Space Telescope shows in incredible detail a pair of young stars that are only a few thousand years old.
with DePasquale and his fellow image processor at STScI, Alyssa Pagan, the duo explain in fascinating detail how they turn the monochromatic images captured by Webb into beautiful full-color composites.
A spectacular feature of this latest image is that the centermost star has vibrant red diffraction spikes. In the grid image above that DePasquale provided, he ordered the raw data by wavelength, shortest to longest, from left to right. This image DePasquale provided shows some of the galaxies that he relied upon in the image to perform color balancing. | Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, J. DePasquale
