The Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) has unveiled its most extensive universe mapping to date using data from the James Webb Space Telescope. The release includes a user-friendly interactive viewer, offering valuable resources for both professional and amateur astronomers. This development allows anyone with internet access to explore the cosmos like never before.
The newly accessible database showcases images from approximately 800,000 galaxies, captured in incredible detail. It features separate imagery from the Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI), providing diverse insights into the depths of space. Alongside, a comprehensive photometric catalog and supplementary scientific data are available, offering key resources for research studies.
In a significant step towards democratizing astronomical data, the catalog is freely available without any charges. This open-access policy empowers curious minds worldwide to dive into the wonders of space.
This initial COSMOS release from the Webb Telescope spans 0.54 square degrees of the sky, observed through NIRCam—equivalent to about the area covered by three full moons. MIRI has focused on 0.2 square degrees, revealing intricate cosmic features. Users can instantly enjoy these breathtaking images online without the need for registration.
By providing such expansive and detailed views of the universe, COSMOS aims to inspire and support the next wave of astronomical discovery.
