DescriptionCosmic Evolution Early Release Science (CEERS) Survey (NIRCam Compass Image) (2023-114).png |
English: Ten near-infrared pointings from NIRCam (the Near-Infrared Camera) aboard the James Webb Space Telescope were stitched together to create this mosaic, known as the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science (CEERS) Survey. These observations are within the same region studied by the Hubble Space Telescope, which is known as the Extended Groth Strip.
The north and east compass arrows show the orientation of the image on the sky. Note that the relationship between north and east on the sky (as seen from below) is flipped relative to direction arrows on a map of the ground (as seen from above). This image shows invisible near-infrared wavelengths of light that have been translated into visible-light colors. The color key shows which NIRCam filters were used when collecting the light. The color of each filter name is the visible light color used to represent the infrared light that passes through that filter. The scale bar is labeled in arcminutes, which is a measure of angular distance on the sky. One arcminute is equal an angular measurement equal to 1/60 of one degree. (The full Moon has an angular diameter of about 30 arcminutes.) The actual size of an object that covers one arcminute on the sky depends on its distance from the telescope.

Metadata
This file contains additional information such as Exif metadata which may have been added by the digital camera, scanner, or software program used to create or digitize it. If the file has been modified from its original state, some details such as the timestamp may not fully reflect those of the original file. The timestamp is only as accurate as the clock in the camera, and it may be completely wrong.
