“”It “glows” red because the Webb Space Telescope is an infrared telescope!

C’mon, Man!””

Oh, give em a break. They gotta justify their phony baloney jobs and fat paychecks somehow, don’t they???

What NASA does is more along the lines of hiding information, than deliberate lying. They are likely hiding way more that we could guess.

Example 1:
One oft he early Mars Rovers had a grinding wheel to study rock compositions, plus a live camera so we could watch. The arm picked up a rock and made a grinding pass. The newly exposed surface had a fossil of a sea plant. But once that was exposed the quickly ground it off.

Example 2:
In the press room when the first Rover’s color TV camera was turned on, it showed a blue sky and green lichen on the surface - there was no red to be seen. Before the camera came on, techs in the press room had spent a good deal of time getting the high-end monitor’s color correct. But as soon as the first images appeared, the manager rushed to the monitor and turned the red gain all the way up.

They are often guilty of trying to fit square pegs into triangular holes, then backtracking with contradictory conclusions.

Best way to find out anything from them is to look a the raw data, which may take science and math degrees to understand, instead of just reading their conclusions.

Love your open mind! New stuff does not phase you in the slightest. Why with that mind set, we’d still be in the Middle Ages!

Sondid you read my original post? I KNOW IT HASN’T CHANGED DIRECTIONS.
Maybe you should sit back and read my WHOLE original post……

“”Love your open mind! New stuff does not phase you in the slightest. Why with that mind set, we’d still be in the Middle Ages!””

New stuff ....like scientific hypothesis and theories about an object in space? No. It really doesn’t. Nor does all of the scientific “findings” about global warming. I’m funny that way.

As for my comment.. it’s called snark, sarcasm and sometimes even .... humor. You might want to at least attempt to ‘get used to it’ if you intend to stick around. JS...

I have a business background—and used to evaluate businesses.

Businesses will often lie about all sorts of things—particularly when the following are required to falsify their claims:

—Specialized technical knowledge
—Access to raw data
—Desire to obtain funding/financing

What they have in common with NASA is that they are human beings.

It is very difficult for humans to avoid taking advantage of those situations.

No. As I noted before as it approaches Mars Earth is rotating behind the sun. Look again . Since a half meter telescope is in orbit around Mars that telescope can record the close encounter.

Don’t know what point you are trying to make but it started from the retard who wrote the article:

“possibly indicating that the design could be intentional.”

FYI >> AI;

James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) images aren’t all red because the telescope detects infrared light, which is invisible to the human eye, and these wavelengths are “colorized” or mapped to visible colors. While the light is often redshifted into the infrared, scientists assign different infrared wavelengths to visible colors (like red, green, and blue) to reveal specific details about elements and molecules, creating a full-color composite rather than simply “unshifting” the redshifted light.

Data-driven color assignment:
Scientists use color to represent specific information. They assign different infrared wavelengths to different colors (like red, green, and blue) to distinguish between various elements, molecules, and physical processes.
“Colorizing” vs. “unshifting”:

Simply unshifting the redshifted light wouldn’t be scientifically useful, as it would lose the ability to highlight details present in the infrared spectrum. Instead, the infrared data is mapped to visible colors to help us see and understand what’s happening in space, creating a “false-color” composite image.

NASA has given no indication of rotating Mars Observer to look at it, nor of diverting the Juno Probe [ which is EOL ] to move toward it.
