Many full-color Hubble images are combinations of three separate exposures — one each taken in red, green, and blue light. When mixed together, these three colors of light can simulate almost any color of light that is visible to human eyes. That’s how televisions, computer monitors, and video cameras recreate colors.
Most of the popular Hubble images are made by combining a red image, a green image, and a blue image.
See how this image looks in different combinations of light! For each color, select either “on” or “off” to control the color(s) used to make the final image.

Fun and easy to understand. Well done!
