Are the telescope image colors real? Neil DeGrasse Tyson explains first James Webb Telescope images

Neil DeGrasse Tyson explains how NASA's James Webb Telescope uses infrared sensor technology to capture the new images of space.

Transcript:

Are these Colors enhanced at all by NASA or is this what the telescope is seeing?

Seeing? Okay. You want to go there? We'll go there. Yeah, let's do this. Okay. So in your eye, you have red, green and blue - RGB sensors in your retina. And what happens is what we define as visible light is the light that comes through and is detected by these three. Those get combined into a single color image of what you see in your brain.

Now, think about that. This entire telescope is tuned for the infrared. You can't see infrared. But what the telescope does is it can take images in three different bands, separate bands of the infrared.

Then you hand it in RGB and create a color picture, which is the color you would see if your eyes could see infrared. So it's it's authentic and legit.

I been watching neil for many years and his knowledge is definitely one of kind...no exaggeration at all!

[blindbrailleable]

Let's GO THERE BITCH! COLORS!!!! INFRA RED! RGB!

[SjaakSchulteis]

Now I understand how they come to the images. Not artificially colored... but converted from 3 bands of infrared, corresponding with our RGB view... nice!

[nunyabiz]

Not quite the yes the guy was looking for.

[bobhoven]

That, s why I love earth, universe is to dark and big 👍👋🌏👁

[mbosko]

Is legit, but you cant see it because you cant see ir...fck

[joseflindsey]

How space looks to the Yautja species, who can see in the infrared light spectrum

[teddy]

Hope we see him more explaining the universe. Love NDT

[edgarcasallas]

You definitely from my view is that the book entitled : ' Life How did it get Here by evolution or by Creation ". The management team at Warwick, New York are aware that it does a good job to get a clear picture of Truth on things in the present that needs to be understood. Thank you for your time. Much success for your sincere or in seeking Genuine truth for yourself !🙂✌️🌎🌍😷👍😃🙋

fukin amazing i should have understood what dad was tryin to explain.

[wanderingknight]

So to answer your question NO. Those are not the actual colors they are AI generated based on RGB.

[vannersp]

So the real answer is "this isn't what we would see"

[jjprior]

Why can we see them from earth but that very expensive telescope cannot just take a regular photo or even better just record 5 mins worth of footage at the same distance.
No, instead there has to be a vast explanation as to why it is invisible to your eyes.. It is still a composite of information not just a photo.

And notice how Neil the ASS tyson is already prepared for an argument.. Wanna go there, we'll go there!

[CarAngel]

Or in other words yes they are manipulated images.

[adriancoanda]

Human eyes sees more than rgb it is ROGVAIV ( rainbow collors )

[DAVEMCKEEGANSWORSTNIGHTMARE]

They already told how they make the photos they are all fake
