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."

    Am I the only one that misread that as "Deep Fried" and expected a completely different kind of story?

    It is so nice God took the time to make these Galaxies so we could have light at night. A couple more moons probably would have been easier though.

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