JWST data.

 I just got some JWST data from the NASA MAST website. There is a lot of data there available to the public so I used chatGPT5 to help me download it and process a random picture. 



This is part of M1 the crab nebula which is just to the right or Orion in the constellation of Taurus. 

I got chatGPT to image process it and I got this:








So you can see part of the JWST at this wavelength 7.7 micrometres which you cannot see in the original. This was taken in about 2024 and they are studying  (chatGPT lookup)
  • A map of dust and molecules in the nebula.

  • A test of supernova explosion models.

  • A way to measure how much dust survives after 1,000 years.

  • Key data to decide whether the Crab is a rare electron-capture supernova remnant.


The star exploded as a supernova in 1054 and was documented historically as you could see it during the daytime. 

JWST is a million miles away at the L2 point in space.
