They assign various infrared wavelengths to colors on the visible spectrum, the familiar reds, blues, yellows, etc.

The usual hyperbolic “news” article. The telescope gathers light in frequencies humans cannot see, so obviously the “images”, and even that’s an antiquated term as everything is gathered digitally, are manipulated to render a visible color value.
