Description This image of NGC 346 and its surrounding star formation was taken with Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys using a filter which isolates light emitted by hydrogen gas. Individual images from 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 most realistically represents the range of brightness in such a single image. Color images may be reconstructed by combining several images made through 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 a great deal of the nebula's finely detailed structure.
