New Hubble Ultra Deep Field In Infrared

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the look-into-my-eyes dept.

Hynee writes "Just in time for Christmas, HubbleSite has released a Hubble Ultra Deep Field redux. The original was in visible light; this version, five years on, is in infrared (1.05, 1.25 and 1.6 um). The observation is in support of the upcoming JWST, which will observe exclusively in infrared, but the newly installed WFC3 does seem to provide some extra resolution over the 2004 visible observations with WFC2."

    If these images are infrared as they supposedly claim, why can I see them? Humans can't see infrared.

    I do hope you were trolling... that's the dumbest question I've heard in a long time. And I have teenagers... (I will show this to them, they will laugh...)

    So, assuming it was a joke. Tres drole, tres drole. /golfclap

    Allright then...

    Perhaps the universe started completely empty and gradually filled up our universe with energy, particles, creating space and time gradually. Perhaps the existance of space induces the creation of energy in our universe.

    That may also explain the accelerating expansion of the universe. Since there is increasingly more space, energy gets created at an accelerated pace in our universe.

    Energy can't appear out of nothing. That's why I say our universe. Conservation of energy demands "negative" energy to have been created simultaneously in such a way our universe can't interact with it (or we would have never existed).
