About The Image
Color InfoThese images are a composite of separate exposures acquired by the ACS/WFC, ACS/HRC, WFPC2 instruments on the Hubble Space Telescope. Several filters were used to sample narrow and wide 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: F330W Cyan: F606W Orange: F814W Red: F658N
