This Hubble image shows the spiral galaxy NGC 691. The image includes optical and infrared observations from Hubbleβs Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) instrument. Four filters were used to sample various wavelengths. The color results from assigning different hues to each monochromatic image associated with an individual filter.
Aka a whole lot of optical physics and engineering went into this absolutely beautiful image! πππ
