About the colours
This image is a composite of separate exposures acquired by the ACS and WFC3 instruments. Several filters were used to sample various wavelengths. 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: F814W (I) Green: F110W (YJ) Red: F160W (H)
About the data
The image was created from Hubble data from proposal 11591 : J.P. Kneib (Laboratoire d'Astrophysique de Marseille) and collaborators.
