This color image is composed of exposures taken by three different instruments, taken over a substantial portion of the space telescope’s life, from March 2000 and August 2009: The Wide Field Planetary Camera
2 (WFPC2), the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS), and the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3).

Also used was a filter that isolates hydrogen emission that emanates from bright star-forming regions dotting the spiral arms.
