"So what does it look like?
“That question has no answer since it is much smaller than the wavelength of visible light.”
“Oh.”
Who goes through the effort of changing the font in LaTeX to comic sans?
Better in “Hello Doctor”, seems smarter

Better than wing dings font
One of my all time favorite wallpapers is the Hubble Ultra Deep field.

atheiastronomers!But it doesn’t look like that to the human eye, if the human eye could see that far, all the colors are translated data. Your eye would see nothing but faint gray smudges if you could recreate that image with your eyes and brain
It’s that way with Webb since it focuses on infrared, but I thought hubble used the visible spectrum.
After a brief search, it looks like Hubble uses the entire optical spectrum which includes some IR and UV along with visible. It depends on the specific image, but the deep field stuff looks like it was a combination of visible and IR, which makes sense considering red shift. But the bluer objects were captured in the visible.
So they inevitably had to compress the spectrum for the photos, but speaking as somebody who has taken tens of thousands of photos in RAW format, all the colors in every photo are translated data. :) (that also goes for the screen displaying the final image using a mix of three wavelengths rather than the actual colors of the original light)
Cloud chambers are pretty
What are you talking about?
It looks like a bright dot. Or a dark one if you are photographing it.
But sometimes… Sometimes, when it’s super clear out, you can focus on a nebula and stack a bunch of images together to get… A dark smudge.
