About The Image
Color InfoThis image is a composite of separate exposures acquired by the STIS and WFC3/UVIS instruments. Several filters were used to sample various wavelengths. 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: Blue: STIS CCD Blue: WFC3/UVIS F395N (395 nm) Green: WFC3/UVIS F502N (502 nm) Red: WFC3/UVIS F631N (631 nm)
