Please Correct Me If I'm Wrong Anyone - Tumblr Posts

I'm not sure about the pictures of planets in our own solar system, but I was at a presentation of someone who works with data from space that is much further away (of which NASA released all these beautiful pictures, made with data of the James Webb telescope), and the explanation on that is as follows:

Many things that we catch are in fact not visible to the human eye, because it concerns shades of infrared light. Therefore, these pictures have to be edited to construct something that is visible to us.

The person giving the presentation did not know exactly why certain colors are chosen over others when creating images like this, but suffice to say that it is not some capitalistic ploy but an effect of the type of data that we receive. It is not visible to the human eye, so in making it visible there always has to be some artistic renditioning.

"Pluto isn't a planet" Fine.

"Dinosaurs had feathers" Fine!

"Neptune isn't a beautiful oceanic blue, it's actually the same washed-out disappointing color as Uranus" I will kill you with my bare hands

Look how they massacred my boy
