- penteract 2y agoThe relevant part being near the bottom: > These images are a composite of separate exposures acquired by the James Webb Space Telescope using the MIRI instrument. Several filters were used to sample wide wavelength ranges. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic (grayscale) image associated with an individual filter. In this case, the assigned colors are: Blue: F770W, Green: F1130W, Red: F1280W. Chasing some numbers up, it looks like they've made the wavelengths around 20 times shorter to bring the picture into the visible spectrum.
