| Instrument | HST>WFC3/IR |
| Filters | F160W (H) |
| About The Image | |
| Color Info | This image was acquired by the WFC3 instrument on the Hubble Space Telescope. The color results from assigning a hue (color) to a monochromatic (grayscale) image associated with an individual filter. In this case, the assigned color is: Blue: 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. |
