This Hubble image shows Messier 99, a spiral galaxy some 42 million light-years away in the constellation of Coma Berenices. The Hubble data was taken with the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3). The color composite was assembled from images taken in ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared light. It is based on data obtained through five filters. The color results from assigning different hues to each monochromatic image associated with an individual filter. Image credit: NASA / ESA / Hubble / M. Kasliwal / J. Lee / PHANGS-HST Team.
