Sunrise Arc Compass (NIRCam Image) (2023-132)

This is an image of the WHL0137-08 galaxy cluster, which includes the Sunrise Arc galaxy, with compass arrows, scale bar and color key. The north and east compass arrows show the orientation of the image on the sky. Note that the relationship between north and east on the sky (as seen from below) is flipped relative to direction arrows on a map of the ground (as seen from above). This image shows invisible near-infrared wavelengths of light that have been translated into visible-light colors. The color key shows which NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) filters were used when collecting the light. The color of each filter name is the visible light color used to represent the infrared light that passes through that filter. Below the image is a color key showing which NIRCam filters were used to create the image and which visible-light color is assigned to each filter.
