About The Image
Color InfoThis image is a composite of separate exposures acquired by the ACS/WFC and WFC3/IR instruments. Several filters were used to sample various wavelengths. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic (grayscale) image as follows: Blue: F475W (g) Green: F814W (I) Red: F105W (Y) + F125W (J) + F160W (H)
