A group of galaxies called "Stephan's Quintet" was featured in the opening scene of the Christmas movie "It's A Wonderful Life" (1946), where angels were speaking from. Left is from the movie, right is from the James Webb Space Telescope.JiminyDickish t1_j1qhpbz wrote

Why is your extremely limited human vision any more valid than the vision of a photosensor?

It’s not, but the representation at the end is indeed fake - the colors are simulated.

Could say the same thing about our brain’s interpretation of colors.

No, because that’s how we define color.

Where it’s our brain or a machine, or a combination of both, it’s still a system doing an arbitrary interpretation. Theoretically there could be something in the universe that perceives it the same as we perceive this false color image.
Whichever image represents more data is technically more correct.
