| About The Image | |
| Color Info | The images in this release are composites of separate exposures obtained with the ACS and WFC3 instruments on the Hubble Space Telescope. Several filters were used to sample broad and narrow 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: F775W (i) Green: F110W (J) Red: F160W (H) |
