Release Date: October 2, 2008
Color: The image is a composite of separate exposures made by the ________________________ACS and WFPC2 instruments on the Hubble Space Telescope. ________________________Three filters were used to sample narrow wavelength ________________________ranges. The color results from assigning different hues ________________________(colors) to each monochromatic image. In this case, the ________________________assigned colors are:
WFPC2 F502N ([O III]) blue
ACS F656N (H-alpha) green
WFPC2 F673N () red
