Are NASA’s space photos real? Yes and no.
The deep space photos taken by NASA's James Webb Telescope are showing us galaxies and stars billions of light-years distant -- deeper into space than ever seen before! These other-worldly images are full of vivid colors and effects -- but could they actually be photoshopped? On this week's episode Hari speaks with astrophysicist and Space Time! host Matt O'Dowd to get a clear picture of what's going on at NASA.
