“It gives a glimpse into the reality beyond our physical perception.” I just can’t appreciate of how advanced us humans have become and are still developing. From making fire in caves to finding miracles in the universe

This creates comon misconceptions not only about how space actually looks but also how planets appear; most images of the Earth from orbit are enhanced to reveal greater detail, so people may be surprised when they watch the live feed from cameras aboard the ISS to see how washed out and "overexposed" the Earth appears (also, the absence of visible stars jars with what conventional space photography would lead them to believe), and recently it was determined that, due to conventions around processing images from the Voyager probes, the common conception of Neptune appearing deep blue is actually erroneous; it is a pale blue-grey in reality.

Space isnt black and white but is not the color you see in many satellite pictures.

One day they’ll no doubt be able to make eyeballs/lenses that can perceive space this way. What a sight that would be….

If you've ever photographed (or seen a photo of) an aurora you'll get a bit of a grasp of what the human eye misses. It's a pale version of a modern camera's capacity for spectrum gathering.

still looks amazing

I'd like to see a completely unedited picture of space... not saying it would look interesting but i'd still like to see it

This video is a little misleading, I'm actually surprised at BBC. Everything they said is factual, but presented in a way that's missing context. For example, the Hubble and James Web telescopes capture very different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. Hubble does indeed capture visible light, but using a monochrome camera, so it doesn't capture any color information per se. Fun fact, all digital cameras are monochrome cameras, but they add a Bayer matrix on top with red/green/blue filters to capture the color data. Hubble does a similar thing, but more tedious. It first takes a picture with just the red filter, then a second image with just the green filter, and a third with just the blue filter. It then combines the three images into a single image. To make it even more complicated, hubble's red/green/blue filters aren't aligned with what most people would consider "pure" red/green/blue. They capture shades of these colors. Then someone in processing make the reds more red, greens more green, and blues more blue. This is because the most interesting star data is contained in colors that most people would consider bland. Their first priority is to capture the data, and then make it more appealing to the general public. So unless you find it cool to look at a spreadsheet filled with numbers, they do this fudging for you. Then we have the James Web which images purely in the infrared which we can't see, so the colors must be interpreted to make a visible image, otherwise you would be looking at a pure black screen.

Color is in the eye of the beholder....if not ask dogs

Yes, if the only way to learn about the human body was through X-ray images, there would still be so much we don't know. This is because X-rays only tell us half the story. Similarly, the infrared images from billions of light years away tell no more than a tenth or perhaps less of the story. It's important to face up to this truth instead of portraying it as if we know everything that there is out there.

I kind of want to see images of space how WE would see it with our own eyes along with the images NASA provides.

Colours add values to our life. Well done to the team

Interesting, I love looking at pictures of space. Nice explanation. I also make science videos, want to see them?

Color grading and adding color to it would also be nice. The detail makes it color looks vibrant

Are there special glasses by chance which will allow me to see the night sky with such vibrancy?

We can see bones with our eyes. Trust me.

The question I have is what the human eye would see if someone were close enough to the nebula to see it as a broadly extended object. Even though the eye cannot see infrared or ultraviolet I imagine there would be color in the luminescence of the ionized gas, and perhaps passively from the starlight penetrating through the gas clouds.

It's because our eyes can't see.

So is our planet make it better❤❤🎉🎉thks

I knew this since 2007. Haha I read so much on the computer in those days.

This video came one day after the QuantumFracture video, coincidence?

I love how astronomers are convinced they just know everything about the universe when out species has barely been able to get into space.

Lots of people see colors differently so even if someone makes colors for the picture people might be swing that picture differently

Oh well then what can we do. So I can’t see infrared. My life must be over. dear diary. What is the point? We all know. Well done James Webb.

I am fifty five years old, and, for all that time, I've been used to seeing Neptune with a glorious deep blue colour. Then, less than a year ago, I learned on another astronomical channel, that it is a much lighter colour indeed, its true colour is, in fact, much closer to that of it's neighbour Uranus.That wonderful vibrant blue hue was laid on its images to help astronomers discern various features on its 'surface'... and decided to release those enhanced images for public viewing, for whatever reason, rather than switching back to its true colour. So thank you, whoever you are, for perpetrating the biggest deception ever. I'm not sure when that first enhanced image was releases, but since then it's been repeated and disseminated across the planet. Millions of people my age and younger have spent their lives believing we had a beautiful sapphire jewel in our solar system when nothing could be further from the truth!

Depends what you mean by colorful. Humans can only see in a small spectrum. So sure.. it's not that colorful, but what are we missing out on in terms of color

Do we alter images to display non-visible light with any other form of photography?

That's right, show us more of the color pictures and less of the grey. It's not like we came here to see the unedited images.

first of all, all those starts are in a patch of sky equivalent to the area of a grain of sand an arm's length away, so we can't even see it to begin with, so let's not think much about colors here.

Yeah. Newsflash. Many telescopes etc aren’t made to detect visible light

Imagine all the things in the universe we'll never be able to perceive.

The diffraction spikes of stars are also an abberation but the likes of Nasa seem happy enough to exagerrate these Bethlehem stars at their studio. A Maksutov design is more accurate, when you see Arcturus with a perfectly colimated Mak, you soon realise that stars have more of a round disc like shape, just like our own Sun.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Right. So 1968's 2001 A Space Odyssey is infinitely more realistic than any Marvel multi-rainbow HDR space scenes.

Very problematic video title. Look at visible spectrum captured Hubble images.

No, it is more colorful than we think.

I actually kinda somewhat knew this lol

Wish they didn't edit the photos. Bad analogy with regards to X-ray images, it would be equivalent to arbitrarily colouring the x-rays.

I completely love how they Edit the JWST photos. It's incredible. Many astro photographers come up with similar coulours, so to me they are definitely real.

So if we could see the full spectrum of light would these clouds be different shades of red?

I watched this video on mute while am high it was actually amazing ❤‍🔥

It actually pisses me off that they do this. Oversells space, and then gaslights me for wanting the pictures to be, you know, EFFING PICTURES.

We can take infrared pictures of everyday life. However, it would be disingenuous to pass off an infrared image as a regular photo without an obvious disclaimer. Infrared images are just as real as regular photos, but they are not the same thing. Think of how much different infrared images look. They look cool and tells us a lot of information, but they would not represent a regular photograph.

Static

Pimento? what are you doing there

I understand the use of the edited images, but it would be nice to know what space actually looks like to the human eye, should we decide to consider space as a possible vaca destination in the future

Space is pitch black

I knew this already.

1:58 am I the only one seeing this?!?!

wait your narrator is a intern?

This is true that we can't see many things with our eyes, but we can feel them. NASA's views and imagination about Universe are nice and to dispute either, especially about scientific theories of time travel.

What people want to see is the view from a space ship if you were flying near to these objects, like if you magnify something a 10 billion miles aways, 1 million times, we want it to look like we are in a space ship 10000 miles away from the object. No an xray

I’ve always knew the pictures were bullshit!! lol

Alternate title: Space sucks

... and the Director of Animation just adds that little touch here and there...

Don’t tell me what I think.

1:08 " we are taking shorter wave length and longer wave length and assigning them to visible wave length.." BUT JWST ONLY "SEE" INFRARED... So HOW can you tell if it's ANYTHING ELSE than infrared?? You only have infrared spectrum.. Short and long wave length infrared spectrum.

I'm disappointed in this because I was hoping it would show unmodified, true color (visible light) images of space objects. Most of the images sent back from our orbiting (and terrestrial) telescopes are monochrome, but some are various spectra of visible light, which could be combined into an image showing what the view from a spaceship's window would be. Unfortunately, I've never seen any processed that way. Also, I'm curious what it really looks like on Mars at noon because most of the images we've seen are enhanced to show brighter light than actually exists.

Please next time do not deceive the people about the color of the universe. I prefer the real colors over fake ones even if it's black and white or gray.

Why does the narrator sound like shes forcing her indian accent to be american

I knew it, first image was also stolen from Elon musk's kitchen table.

Does this means if we were able to see space through our own eyes it would be the same colourful?

It's all very confusing. Does it mean if I were close enough to the photographed objects, I wouldn't actually see the colours? If so, why am I able to see the Milky Way in its splendid colours with my naked eyes?

Space simply doesn't exist! We're all under the roof - FIRMAMENT.

Clickbait. There was no Supernoba since 1604 AD.

Space isnt black and white. But its not colrless either. Got it.

First, I found out my wife has been lying to me about having a boyfriend, and now telescopes are lying to me about the colors in space? FML!!

We need more fake images of earth....

Space is full of colour: * X-rays * Gamma rays * radio waves * micro waves STOP LYING BBC

If we are here to observe the Universe for God, as some Philosophers and Theologians have suggested, then these images are the Universe as God would see it.

2:00 Bad comparison.. Cant compare images of our bones taken with Xrays, with images taken with JWST. The reason is that ; we CAN CONFIRM that the Xray images are REALLY our bones because we ALREADY SEEN bones with our eyes in real life. On the other end, for all we can be absolutly sure about the images of the JWST, is that they are only REPRESENTATIONS and INTERPRETATIONS.

0:55 "IMAGE CREATED" by definition... NOT REAL

All we see on the internet are lies... They keep feeding us the wrong interpretation of what the space and universe really look like. Why won't they show us unedited images?

horrible, dishonest headline. space is very colorful. I and the tens of thousands of other astrophotographers around the world know this

Also, Mars isn't red or orange. It's gray. Pictures are photoshopped.

Liars!

TIL Space is boring and I'm a dog

That thing is called AI generated image

Its Called the Firmament and the Heavens, and it declares God's glory and His handiwork. Psalm 19 King James Bible. BBC you will be judged by God for every deception and lie you have ever told. The more you lie, the more God judge you on that day.

ID LIKE TO THINK OF IT AS PLAYING MUSIC but you ARENT. You are giving us FALSE images. Showing pictures and playing music are 2 completely different things idgaf how you justify it.

normie narrative is starting to crumble
