NASA. LARGE FORMAT. Rare. This image of NGC 346 and the star formation that surrounds it was taken by Hubble's Advanced Camera using a filter that isolates the light emitted by hydrogen. Individual images taken by Hubble's cameras retain no color information as such, other than the color of a filter, which selects a range of wavelengths from the full spectrum of light. A black-and-white (monochrome) image more realistically represents the brightness range of such a single image. Color images can be reconstructed by combining several images made with different filters and assigning a distinct color to each image. Even without the added color dimension, the wide range of gray tones in the black and white image reveals much of the finely detailed structure of the nebula. 2004.
Vintage silver print. Label on back. 50.8 x 40.6CM with margins.
