The first images from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) were released earlier this week. As with other NASA missions, they have made this data available to the public so that we can have our own go at processing these incredible images! And it’s absolutely free!
At the time of writing, downloading these files isn’t as simple as pressing a download button on a webpage. It requires opening a .sh file, which is a Unix shell script file that Windows cannot read natively. All is not lost, however, us Windows users can still download this data! We just have to go through an extra hoop to get it.
