Galaxy Cluster Abell 1689

About the colours

The color image of Abell 1689 is a composite of separate exposures made by the ACS instrument on the Hubble Space Telescope. Three filters were used to sample broad wavelength ranges. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic image. In this case, the assigned colors are: Blue: F475W (g) Green: F625W (r) Red: F850LP (z)
