The image (below) is a composite of separate exposures acquired by the WFC3 instrument on the Hubble Space Telescope.
Several filters were used to sample narrow 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: F555W
Green: F814W
Red: F160W

“140 million light-years from Earth”
You can get there by subway, but you have to transfer like 10^15 times.
And of course this is perfectly accurate to the nth degree.....
140 million x 5.9 TRILLION (miles)

Why do you always have something negative to say...on everything?
Why do you post stuff that is unverifiable?
What was it you thought was settled science?
Just like bumblebees shouldn’t be able to fly.
The tokens are the real killer.
I know, and you have to pay ‘peak’ fares.
“The tokens are the real killer.”
I know, and you better pray the bathroom is operative.
Is that where all our federal tax money has been disappearing to?
I know, and you better pray the bathroom is operative.

That’s why engineers invented roll down windows.
Well I am honored to be the one to say the humor that I thought would be obvious to everyone. Here it goes. Gosh don’t tell Mexico they may use this Wormhole to Tunnel away into the u.s.!
At least there aren’t a lot of panhandlers.
That can be a bit chilly, though.
The straightforward resolution to the problem: the presumed black hole doesn’t exist and something different is happening at the center of galaxies.
Good point.
