This Hubble image shows NGC 1566, a spiral galaxy some 70 million light-years away in the constellation of Dorado. The color image was made from separate exposures taken in the visible, ultraviolet and near-infrared regions of the spectrum with Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3). It is based on data obtained through six filters. The color results from assigning different hues to each monochromatic image associated with an individual filter.
