Many images are touched up with color though it's based on science. So yes these objects would look different if you were actually viewing them from some hovering spaceship.

Why are they touching it up Why dont they just post the originals ? Maybe they
look less interesting but.. I'd like to see what the camera records, not whats
added in photoshop :S

Anyplace we can look at the originals, untouched versions?

I'm sure you've seen the Eagle Nebula.



If you were there in real life it wouldn't look like this. Color reassignments were used to enhance the image so that more detail could be seen (and probably to make it look more beautiful). As I understand, it would likely be all red if you were able to see it IRL.

shouldn't you have said 'thankee sai'?

Gorgeous pics.

For those without widescreen, here is another link for normal wallpaper.

And yeah these photos are doctored, but at the same time the real thing. In fact if you look through a telescope, you would not see half of what these images show. The human eye can only resolve so much. These are long exposure photographs and many layers of images through various filters to combine to see these spectacular images.

Enjoy.

good post, the ultra deep field would make a great wallpaper. Also, as I believe was already stated the pictures do have false color applied but for the most part the color applied is very close to what the actual color would be.

Holy Smoly, those are such cool pictures !

They are realy spicing up my desktop, thnx for postign that link

How beautiful is nature?

Words cannot convey such things
