Around four and a half years ago this was the first object I processed. I definitely didn't know what I was getting myself into, and I also have come a long way since then.

Summary

Description
English: Around four and a half years ago this was the first object I processed. I definitely didn't know what I was getting myself into, and I also have come a long way since then. Early last year ESA published their own version of the image, as they do*, and it went viral, which I think surprised them. It certainly surprised me. One morning I woke up and I had a few inquiries from journalists asking about my role in the picture.

Anyway, this is a slightly different dataset from what has been processed before. Here I've used only data from WFC3. Represented in red and green are two near-infrared bands and then in blue is an ultraviolet band. I think this version provides a little more depth. I also decided not to crop it so we get to see all those galaxies in the wider field of view.

  • None of the processing I do is ever featured, but sometimes it looks quite similar and this is very confusing to a lot of people since I receive "acknowledgement" in the credits.

WFC3/IR blobs were filled with cloned data.

North is NOT up. It is 14.8° clockwise from up.
