About The Image
Color InfoThese images are composites of separate exposures acquired by the Hubble, Chandra, and Spitzer space telescopes. Several instruments were used to sample broad wavelength ranges. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic (grayscale) image associated with an individual wavelength. In this case, the assigned colors are: Blue: X-ray (Chandra) Green: Visible (Hubble) Red: Infrared (Spitzer)
