Spiral Bridge of Young Stars in SDSS J1531+3414

About the colours

This composite image includes exposures acquired by the WFC3 instruments on the Hubble Space Telescope. Several filters were used to sample broad wavelength ranges. 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: F390W (C) Cyan: F606W (V) Yellow: F814W (I) Red: F160W (H)
