What you are seeing

These images are built from real single-band infrared layers captured by the James Webb Space Telescope. Drag the sliders to mix wavelengths, reveal hidden dust, and explore what different filters uncover.

JWST records invisible infrared light through separate filters. This app maps long infrared light to red, mid infrared to green, and short infrared to blue. Adjusting the channels changes which structures stand out.
