Hubble Ultra Deep Field 2012

About the colours

This image is a composite of separate exposures acquired by the 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: F105W (Y) Green: F125W (J) Red: F140W (JH) + F160W (H)
