Nice!

An orange jet consisting out of clumps coming from the nucleus. The jet has a bent on it. The host galaxy is blue and is an ongoing merger of two galxies.

A small blue galaxy is below the main galaxy pair. Other red galaxies and a blue star are also in the image.

I wish they did them in more than 2 filters, my bot skips them.
How I love those jets

I see the target name and all I can think of is:
Apateu, Apateu 🎢

Yes, I see the similarity, my concept of proplyds was more of cocoon shape

The official images got 137 likes so far. My image got 6, it's fine. For color images my bot got 30 for MIRI, 57 for NIRCam, while for a grey-scale image of f187n it got 507 likes, and rising. More than ESA. IDK why.

Today I only have time for MIRI, tomorrow afternoon/evening I'll continue with Nircam and MIRI combined.

Here I combined all filters. I did not align MIRI with NIRCam beyond the automatic coregistration. IRAS 09269-4923 is now marketed as the exposed cranium nebula, as a brain researcher I like it. Other names for the object include PMR 1, WB89 1284 and more

Side-by-side images of the same nebula show how differently it appears in near-infrared, on the left, versus mid-infrared light, on the right. The left image is labeled NIRCam and the right is labeled MIRI. In the near-infrared, the nebula’s outer bubble has a white edge and its inner clouds are orange, with a distinct dark lane cutting vertically through the centre. Stars and background galaxies appear around the nebula and through the outer bubble. In the mid-infrared, the outer bubble has a bluish tint and there is more material in the inner clouds, which are coloured off-white. The vertical dark lane is still present but more interrupted and covered by the clouds. Material appears to be erupting out the top of the nebula, and this effect is mirrored to a lesser degree at the bottom, opposite end.
