NASA has posted the first images from the James Webb Space Telescope on their web site. Impressive stuff and this is just the beginning! www.nasa.gov/webbfirstimages |

I'm not sure, but I believe 5 of the 6 filtered layers are accurately reconverted back to visible light colors, as the images captured are grayscale, while one filter records the light spectrum that would not be visible to the human eye, so a color is chosen. Or maybe 4 and 2, one high-spectrum, one low spectrum.
Question I have is whether a photo taken on Earth augmented by the extra colors that we normally can't see and look completely different.
