NASA's COSMOS-Web project has released 1.5 TB of data from the James Webb Space Telescope, providing an unprecedented view of the universe. This dataset is aimed at enhancing usability for scientists and enthusiasts, featuring a searchable catalog of galaxies and an interactive viewer for images and properties. Despite being raw data, which are publicly accessible, the project's effort is focused on refining the images by correcting for artifacts that may obscure findings, such as light reflections from bright stars.
"Those raw data are public, but it takes a lot of work to do all of the calibrations and correct for all of the different types of artifacts that you can get in the imaging..."
"So many surveys observe a very small area or an intermediate area, but there's a trade-off: you can either look in one spot and stare for a really long time and see the deepest things possible, or you can try to cover a large area."
