The Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) has released the most comprehensive survey of the universe to date using the James Webb Space Telescope’s infrared capabilities. This breakthrough online catalog features an interactive viewer, accessible to both experts and enthusiasts, allowing anyone to explore approximately 800,000 galaxies.
This is the first release of the COSMOS catalog based on observations from the Webb Telescope. The study covers 0.54 square degrees of the sky using NIRCam, equivalent to about three full moon areas, and an additional 0.2 square degrees with MIRI. These images are available in both the near (NIRCam) and mid-infrared (MIRI) wavelengths, offering a new layer of cosmic insight.
The catalog is entirely free to use, encouraging both scientific research and public engagement. Detailed photometric data and other specialized information are also provided, aiding researchers in their studies. Users can view the stunning images of the cosmos without registration, making this a truly accessible resource.
This release marks a significant milestone in making space exploration data openly available, fostering a broader understanding of the universe. Whether you’re a professional astronomer or an amateur space enthusiast, this catalog promises a rich, educational experience. Visit the catalog to explore the universe like never before.
