Firefox Logo Seen in Deep Space

Not all space photos are taken in infrared. It can also just be a matter of what kind (colors) of lens filters they use for some. They do try to get close to the true color, though. And there are many other kinds of light (by which I mean wavelengths on the electromagnetic spectrum) they use, though many of those don't produce images of stars as the common observer would recognize. Astronomy magazine had a neat little article on it years ago with a handy panel showing the same object's picture taken many different ways. Haven't found an equivalent online.
