About The Image
Color InfoThese images are composites of separate exposures acquired by the ACS and WFC3 instruments on the Hubble Space Telescope. Several filters were used to sample broad 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: WFC3/UVIS F336W (U) Green: ACS/WFC F475W (g) Yellow: ACS/WFC F814W (I) Red: WFC3/IR F160W (H)
