About The Image
Color InfoThese images are a composite of separate exposures acquired by the WFC3 UVIS and IR instruments on the Hubble Space Telescope. Several filters were used to sample narrow wavelength ranges. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic (grayscale) image associated with an individual filter. In this case, the assigned colors are: Cyan: F555W Orange: F814W Red: F160W Luminance: F350LP
