| About The Image | |
| Color Info | This image is a composite of many separate exposures made by the ACS and WFC3 instruments on the Hubble Space Telescope using ten different filters. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic image. In this case, the assigned colors are: Blue: ACS/WFC F606W (V) + F625W (r) Green: ACS/WFC F775W (i) + F814W (I) + F850LP (z) Red: WFC3/IR F105W (Y) + F110W (YJ) + F125W (J) + F140W (JH) + F160W (H) |
