Description

I was looking for a picture of the JWST carina nebula in high resolution but NASA doesn't seem to make available anything wider than 2000px, whereas the raw images from the telescope are 7000px and 14000px wide , depending on the filter. So I decided to process the image by myself using the raw data downloadable from the Nasa website (https://mast.stsci.edu/portal/Mashup/Clients/Mast/Portal.html). Here's the result! I used the data from the 6 JWST IR filters assigning  each one the colour as per this scheme (https://jwst-docs.stsci.edu/jwst-near-infrared-camera/nircam-instrumentation/nircam-filters) .
