How scientists colorize photos of space

Yes, that’s a black and white photo.

The Hubble Space Telescope only takes photos in black and white. To make those beautiful space photos you’ve probably seen, scientists add the color later using a technique first developed around the turn of the 20th century that imitates how our eyes naturally perceive color.
If you want to explore more Hubble photos, a lot of information came from this site: hubblesite.org/

@@RubsNL It's also not millions of years ago as the Pillars of Creation are about 6500 light years away. So a picture of them now would show them as they were 6500 years ago.

@@Jay-S04 The most important thing you can do right now is to make sure your math skills are well developed before you go to college.

My recommendation is to try and get a good base in physics and mathematics, and to try and find a student research position. That helped me tremendously in finding a good PhD. Just ask me if you have other questions. I am willing to help.

Zack E So this means that the longest the light travels the more she “moves” towards lower frequencies?

[@MaxPower-vf8kt]

@@joao13soares I think it has more to do with "us" moving away from the source... like the Doppler Effect but instead of sound waves, it's light waves. As we move away from each other or "the universe expands", the wavelength is lower... much like a car moving away for you standing on the road sounds lower in frequency that when it was coming towards you or stationary.

Space Is colorful (nebula,planets etc) it's just that the light is coming from so far away that it's stretched and looses its properties gradually while it reaches us. The image captured can be then recolored with the technology available to us.

[@garysnow1475]

They say space smells like burnt iron.

[@glichjthebicycle384]

Btw the reason why an element has "a spectrum": When for example Oxygen is exposed to a certain wavelength of light it gets ionized. After a time it looses this energy in the form of photons. The wavelength (and therefor the energy) of these photons is element specific. Most elements have multiple wavelengths. So if you look at the spectrum of a star or whatever and you see those lines on the spectrum you know that there is that and that element there

[@ThatSilentGuy]

Actually most modern digital cameras work on the same principle as color photography from 1911. Sensors of digital cameras can only differentiate brightness and are effectly black-white cameras. The coloring is done by color filters - not three pieces of RGB glass, but a "mosaic" pattern (CFA, color filter array) covering the sensor, one common mosaic pattern being 2x2 grid of RGGB. The sensor takes a black white photo, which is then converted to colored photo by software (the process is called "demosaicing"). The mosaic color filter grid is the reason why CMOS sensor has that sort of weird color of reflection.

How do u assign 'light' emitted by object that you can't see such as radiowaves and UV, we assign false colour. If not, it's gonna be black&white and difficult to interpret if you overlay it with different 'wavelength info'. Human see reflected wavelength from the object but not if the object emitting energy.

We can see more of the spectrum than we ever could. Hubble is becoming more old school but why is that not beautiful to hear about?

[@rapophie9228]

Their specific example of the eagle nebula (aka pillars of creation) just happens to be very red. Google something like "dumbbell nebula amateur photo" and you'll see true color images.

The universe IS beautiful, you just don't understand it.

Invisible is correct. Everything you see about space is art not reality. Expensive cartoon network is all it ever is.

*IIIIIII KNEEEEEEEW IT* *And the truth shall set you free* edit :I always had a doubt and always asked How Photoshop is being used

[@clevergirl4457]

so what?

[@Jarviz9001]

Photoshop was used to enhance the color of the photos. It's a like a filter. The photos are absolutely real. Don't start getting on a high horse thinking "NASA fakes space photos"

[@milhouse777]

So?

[@tastaturensohn]

I honestly cant get enough of these space photos

[@BR-jt6ny]

Thank you, I have so often wondered about this after seeing some of these photos, like the pillars of creation
