This Hubble image shows the barred spiral galaxy LEDA 857074. The color image is made up of observations from Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) in the near-infrared part of the spectrum. Four filters were used to sample various wavelengths. The color results from assigning different hues to each monochromatic image associated with an individual filter.
