    James Webb Telescope Reveals Stunning Images of Distant Galaxies

    The James Webb Space Telescope has once again taken some amazing pictures of faraway space. Astronomers are very interested in these pictures. They show distant stars and galaxies. The telescope captured pictures of 19 spiral galaxies, which is very cool. We can see millions of stars in these pictures, and this is something new for scientists.

    This telescope can see different kinds of light, like near-infrared and mid-infrared. This helps scientists study stars, dust, and gas in space. There are many more spiral galaxies out there, like our own Milky Way.

    Studying galaxies like this helps us understand how they are born and how they change over time. This is part of a big project called FANX. Over 100 astronomers from around the world are working on this project. They use different telescopes to gather information about galaxies, which makes the research easier.

    The new pictures from the James Webb Telescope are really amazing. They show things that scientists have never seen before. Some new things they found are helping us understand how stars grow and change. The telescope’s infrared camera can see millions of stars shining brightly. It also took pictures of gas in the galaxies and big holes.

    These holes are made by stars changing over time. Galaxies start growing from the middle and then spread out. This means that stars are smaller as you move away from the middle. Stars can live for a very, very long time, even billions or trillions of years.

    Scientists are studying a lot about how stars are born and how they die. The James Webb Space Telescope launched into space in 2021. It started collecting data in 2022.

  • Google Messages Now Displays Stunning Ultra HDR Images

    Google Messages Now Displays Stunning Ultra HDR Images

    Google Messages has joined the league of apps supporting Ultra HDR, a revolutionary image format in Android 14. This format enhances photography by embedding an HDR gain map in the metadata of images, resulting in vibrant colors and increased contrast when viewed on compatible devices. While Google Chrome and Google Photos had already incorporated Ultra HDR support, Google Messages quietly joined the list in September 2023, just before the Pixel 8 series launch.

    Sharing Ultra HDR images via Google Messages using RCS ensures that the HDR gain map is retained, providing recipients with a visually enhanced photo experience on compatible devices. Despite lacking a distinct icon or text to identify Ultra HDR images, opening them on devices like the Pixel 8 series triggers the automatic application of the HDR gain map, bringing out richer colors and highlights.

    Although some social media platforms may compress or remove Ultra HDR metadata, Google Messages preserves the gain map, allowing backed-up images to retain their enhanced quality in Google Photos. It’s important to note that Google Photos currently doesn’t support editing Ultra HDR pictures without losing metadata. For editing while retaining metadata, users can turn to Adobe Lightroom.

    Presently, only the Google Pixel 8 and 8 Pro support capturing 10-bit Ultra HDR photos, while viewing capabilities extend to the Pixel 7 series and newer models. As more Android flagship phones enter the market, the list of supported devices is expected to grow in the coming months.

    To witness the superior quality of Ultra HDR images compared to regular photos, users can explore a dedicated GitHub repository by Android expert Mishaal Rahman. The immediate improvement in image quality is evident when viewed on compatible devices such as a MacBook Pro or the Pixel 8.
