| About The Image | |
| Color Info | These images are a composite of separate exposures acquired by the WFPC2 instrument on the Hubble Space Telescope. Several filters were used to sample various 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: Blue: F336 + F439 Green: F336 + F439 + F555 Red: F555 |
