Add images with HST data from the different datasets, showing 1999 and 2000 data separately.

| Jul 26, 2020 at 3:37 | comment | added | uhoh | I am close to understanding most of your substantial, well-researched and well-sourced answer, thank you very much for this! In reference to the last sentence "That’s why that object ended up looking green - they weighted the “bright” green data twice as much as the “bright” red and blue data." I'm not sure I agree. I think the object, if bright enough would "look green" to us too, and the double weighting is a necessary aspect of attempting to render somewhat realistically. While it is a given that named color assignments are somewhat arbitrary and subjective, it really was green, no? | |
