This is a normal post He's right you know
Those colours aren't there.

To quote the wikipedia page: The photograph was made with light emitted by different elements in the cloud and appears as a different color in the composite image: green for hydrogen, red for singly ionized sulfur and blue for double-ionized oxygen atoms.

So it's a false colour image. It's constructed by putting different filters looking for different elements in front of a greyscale CCD and stacking the results. It just so happens that the result looks a bit pretty.

Is any picture what you see with your eyes? You said "False colour" - OK, show me a true one. Anything, ever. Any pic that actually looks identical to real life. Go on, I'll wait.

This is a normal post Dude,
They arbitrarily chose a colour to represent specific elements.

You're now claiming photographs don't look identical to real life?

Ignoring facts and calling people who don't comply with your simplistic views silly names might get you elected in the US, but that shit doesn't fly here.

You really can't take criticism can you? That's a false colour image. No amount of whatabouts is going to change that.

I don't have the equipment here to prove it, but I'd be willing to bet good money that a photo out my window by my DSLR would look a fuckload closer to real life than one created by stacked hydrogen, sodium and oxygen filters.

This is a normal post tbh, both of your arguments
...are superseded by asking why those images are missing the obligatory b3ta pink colourisation and 3-pubes-per-ball quotient.

Show me a real colour image then.

Any photo, ever, that looks like what we see with our eyes.
