This Hubble image shows NGC 1156, a dwarf irregular galaxy located 25 million light-years away in the constellation of Aries. The color image was made from separate exposures taken in the ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared regions of the spectrum with Hubble’s Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) and Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS). 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.
