Making a Great Observatories Composite
This video shows how a Hubble image and a Spitzer image of the Orion Nebula were combined to create a new, multi-wavelength image. Hubble ultraviolet and visible-light data are mapped to blue and green. Spitzer infrared data are mapped to orange and red. The combined image comes alive with new colors.
