Transcript:
Are these Colors enhanced at all by NASA or is this what the telescope is seeing?
Seeing? Okay. You want to go there? We'll go there. Yeah, let's do this. Okay. So in your eye, you have red, green and blue - RGB sensors in your retina. And what happens is what we define as visible light is the light that comes through and is detected by these three. Those get combined into a single color image of what you see in your brain.
Now, think about that. This entire telescope is tuned for the infrared. You can't see infrared. But what the telescope does is it can take images in three different bands, separate bands of the infrared.
Then you hand it in RGB and create a color picture, which is the color you would see if your eyes could see infrared. So it's it's authentic and legit.
