The colors in Hubble images, which are assigned for various reasons, aren"t always what we"d see if we were able to visit the imaged objects in a spacecraft. We often use color as a tool, whether it is to enhance an object"s detail or to visualize what ordinarily could never be seen by the human eye.
另外,參見這裡HubbleSite - Behind the Pictures ,有些照片表示的是真實色彩(但人眼遠遠達不到哈勃望遠鏡的敏感度,所以人眼看到的細節不一定有那麼多),有些照片則做了色彩增強以突出細部結構。
