| R.A. Position | 13h 0m 56.05s |
| Dec. Position | 27° 47' 27.12" |
| Constellation | Coma Berenices |
| Distance | 320 million light-years (100 million parsecs) |

| About The Data | |
| Data Description | The image was created from Hubble data from proposals : K. Cook (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory), M. Gregg (University of California, Davis), L. Macri (National Optical Astronomy Observatories, AURA), J. Mould (University of Melbourne), P. Stetson (Dominion Astrophysical Observatory), and D. Welch (McMaster University); and 11956: K. Noll, Z. Levay, L. Frattare, C. Christian, F. Hamilton, and H. Bond (Hubble Heritage Team/STScI). |
| Instrument | HST>ACS/WFC and HST>WFPC2 |
| Exposure Dates | December 2006 – January 2007 and January 2009 – February 2009, Exposure Time: 28 hours |
| Filters | F450W (B), F606W (V), F673N (redshifted H-alpha), and F814W (I) |
| About The Image | |
| Color Info | The image is a composite of separate exposures made by the ACS and WFPC2 instruments on the Hubble Space Telescope. Four 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: F450W (B) F606W (V) F673N (redshifted H-alpha) + F814W (I) |
