                aren't always what we'd see if we were able to visit the imaged 
                objects in a spacecraft. We often use color as a tool, whether 
                it is to enhance an object's detail or to visualize what ordinarily 
                could never be seen by the human eye.</P></blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://hubblesite.org/gallery/behind_the_pictures/meaning_of_color/tool.php" href="http://hubblesite.org/gallery/behind_the_pictures/meaning_of_color/tool.php" style="font-size: 11px;">hubblesite.org</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://hubblesite.org/gallery/behind_the_pictures/meaning_of_color/tool.php"><P>Creating color images out of the original black-and-white exposures

                wavelengths of light. To record what an object looks like at a 
                certain wavelength, Hubble uses special filters that allow only 
                a certain range of light wavelengths through. Once the unwanted 
                light has been filtered out, the remaining light is recorded.</P></blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://hubblesite.org/gallery/behind_the_pictures/meaning_of_color/rgb.php" href="http://hubblesite.org/gallery/behind_the_pictures/meaning_of_color/rgb.php" style="font-size: 11px;">hubblesite.org</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://hubblesite.org/gallery/behind_the_pictures/meaning_of_color/rgb.php"><P class="white-text">Most of the popular Hubble images are made
