Are these all true colors? Seems like a lot of red and yellow floating around? Or maybe thats just the way the galaxy is, I'm no expert.

- djahng 16y agothese images were taken using the spitzer space telescope, which is an infrared telescope. so no, those aren't "true colors".
- turnersauce 16y agoAs I responded to a similar question, I believe that these images are created through a composite of Spitzer images taken at different wavelengths, where the colours have been added artificially.
