Do you get equally as enraged when a mother sees the first ultrasound of her anticipated newborn and just start yelling "FAKE!" as you run around the hospital making an ass of yourself?

The colors are not there to make the pictures pretty for you. They represent whatever elements the science is focusing on in that specific picture, and serve a very important purpose.

The point of using telescopes is not to give you cool wallpapers, but to understand what's out there. Since our eyes can't tell hydrogen from whatever other element, they accentuate the colors. The colors are not completely made up, the pictures come in red, green and blue, and are then combined and sometimes made more vivid, if there's a reason for them to be.

If they mindlessly colored the images to look pretty, only for the funding, without providing any kind of useful and peer reviewed data which advances our understanding of the universe, they would not get any money from anyone, you confused, angry soul.

Go through these 6 short slides about Hubble, if you want to understand what "fake color" means. JWST is an infrared observatory, but similar shit applies to it.

Delete this comment coz you gonna get roasted real bad.

Which is what one would expect from The New York Times and not Sky & Telescope.
