About The Image
Color InfoThe image is a composite of separate exposures made by the WFC3 instrument on the Hubble Space Telescope. Five filters were used to sample broad and narrow wavelength ranges. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic image. In this case, the assigned colors are: Blue: F336W (U) Green: F555W (V) Cyan: F502N ([O III]) Red: F657N (H-alpha) + F814W (I)
