The Beauty of False Color in Space

Did you know space doesn’t actually look like this? Or this? Or even this?

That's because telescopes don’t just capture visible light they detect infrared, ultraviolet,

and even x-rays stuff the human eye can’t see So how do we get those jaw-dropping

colors? NASA uses something called false coloring,assigning colors to invisible wavelengths so we

can actually see what’s going on it's not just to make pictures pretty it helps scientists

reveal hidden structures of the universe So yeah space might not look like that but thanks to NASA

we’re seeing a version of the cosmos that’s even more beautiful than reality
