| About The Data | |
| Data Description | The image was created from Hubble WFC3 data from proposal , R.

Giavalisco (University of Massachusetts) et al., and proposal : A. Riess (JHU and STScI). The science team for this release is led by A. van der Wel (Max Planck Institute for Astronomy, Heidelberg, Germany), and the images were produced by A. Koekemoer (STScI). |

| About The Image | |
| Color Info | This image is a composite of many separate exposures made by the ACS and WFC3 instruments on the Hubble Space Telescope using different filters that isolate broad wavelengths. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic image. In this case, the assigned colors are: Blue: F225W (UV) + F275W (UV) + F336W (U) + F435W (B) Green: F098M (blue grism) + F606W (V) + F775W (i) + F850LP (z) Red: F098M (blue grism) + F125W (J) + F160W (H) |

| About The Object | |
|---|---|
| Object Name | A name or catalog number that astronomers use to identify an astronomical object. |
| Object Description | The type of astronomical object. |
| R.A. Position | Right ascension – analogous to longitude – is one component of an object's position. |
| Dec. Position | Declination – analogous to latitude – is one component of an object's position. |
| Constellation | One of 88 recognized regions of the celestial sphere in which the object appears. |
| Distance | The physical distance from Earth to the astronomical object. Distances within our solar system are usually measured in Astronomical Units (AU). Distances between stars are usually measured in light-years. Interstellar distances can also be measured in parsecs. |
| Dimensions | The physical size of the object or the apparent angle it subtends on the sky. |
| About The Data | |
| Data Description |
|
| Instrument | The science instrument used to produce the data. |
| Exposure Dates | The date(s) that the telescope made its observations and the total exposure time. |
