Centaurus A Extreme Deep Field - 130 hours
Read MoreNASA James Webb Space Telescope News Release - March 2021
In 2021 NASA reached out to me to use my deep optical 130 hour image of active galaxy Centaurus A, for a news release about NASA's James Webb Telescope. The optical image was combined together with x-ray, infrared and radio data from NASA's observatories to produce this multi-wavelength image.
From the press release:
Centaurus A's dusty core is apparent in visible light, but its jets are best viewed in X-ray and radio light. With upcoming observations from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope in infrared light, researchers hope to better pinpoint the mass of the galaxy's central supermassive black hole as well as evidence that shows where the jets were ejected.
