Field Series 5 — Field 2926, MIRI channel 1 short

jw02926, first observation, through MIRI’s first spectrometer channel at its short sub-band — the shortest wavelengths the mid-infrared spectrometer covers, and its narrowest field of view. Fourteen minutes of the hundred most distinctive passages; ninety-three minutes of the open field, twenty-four minutes to each reading; seven minutes of the fifty rarest to close. This cube is legible. Its distinctive suite is led by the plainest readings available — raw brightness, gradient, obstruction, lines, in that order — and its rare suite is led by brightness too, which is unusual: rarity here comes from intensity itself doing something odd, not from the more exotic derived fields. Holonomy barely registers, and the anisotropy reading contributes nothing rare at all. Its sibling, the same programme one sub-band up, is Episode 9. Before Birth is an acknowledged test series.
