Stunning JWST Image Suggests Rapidly Rotating Black Hole - Part 1 of 3

This is part 1 of a 3 part series.

On July 12, NASA, along with representatives of the European and Canadian space agencies, partners in the mission, unveiled the results of 5 separate studies, images and data with a high “wow” value! The images released were impressive, with detail and resolution exceeding expectations, not just from the engineers and mission support specialists who have worked since Christmas of last year commissioning the telescope, but from all.

We will present and discuss the August 13th observation of the Barred-Spiral Galaxy NGC-1365 that was part of the Early Release Observation program.

Further, we obtained the image data directly from the JWST data repository at the Space Telescope Science Institute and processed it using PixInsight and GIMP. In our full-featured article
(https://astronomyforchange.org/stunning-jwst-image-suggests-rapidly-rotating-black-hole-in-galaxys-core/), we provide various download options in our article.

In this video, we go through the concrete steps necessary to create your own, high-quality, professional astroimages directly from Hubble, JWST and other orbiting platform data, data that is publicly available and accessible.
