How do we get images from Hubble?
In order to produce a color image, Hubble captures images using “broadband filtering” that captures a general range of red, green, and blue light in a black-and-white image. Those are then combined to create a true-color image.
How do I download data from Hubble?
The main interface to get at the Hubble data is the Hubble Legacy Archive website. The search box lets you look for objects based on their name or coordinates. For example if you want images of M 100, all you need to do is to enter “M 100” into the search interface.
