Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Image of the globular cluster Messier 92 (M92) captured by the James Webb Space Telescope’s NIRCam instrument. The black strip in the center is a chip gap, the result of the separation between NIRCam’s two long-wavelength detectors. The gap covers the dense center of the cluster, which is too bright to capture at the same time as the fainter, less dense outskirts of the cluster.

This image is a composite of four exposures using four different filters: F090W (0.9 microns in wavelength) is shown in blue; F150W (1.5 microns) in cyan; F277W (2.77 microns) in yellow; and F444W (4.44 microns) in red. The image is about 5 arcminutes (39 light-years) across. View a close-up of a portion of the image.
