@JHUAPL I'm not sure which is exactly the *first* color image, I'm finding more than one with that claim (including the one below, which I color-adjusted) but all are from DODGE on September 20, 1967
Here's a view of the famous Horsehead Nebula located 1,375 light-years away in Orion. This is a color-composite made from images acquired with @NASAHubble in infrared light in 2012 (PI Z. Levay). In optical light it appears as a dark silhouette against a brighter background.
This is the star-forming region S106, 3,300 light-years away, seen in a color-composite I made with images captured by @NASAHubble in infrared light on February 13, 2011 for Keith Noll. A newly-ignited star is blasts away parts of the cloud of dust and gas from which it formed.
A view of NGC 4569, aka Messier 90, an intermediate spiral galaxy 60 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation Virgo. This is a color-composite made from images captured with @HUBBLE_space's WFC3 instrument on December 12, 2019.
This is a view of a 2000km-wide vortex of swirling clouds around Saturn's north pole, imaged in polarized light with @CassiniSaturn on November 27, 2012 #OTD It’s adjusted to approximate visible-light color of the area. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SSI/Cassini Imaging Team/JPMajor
Images from @CassiniSaturn captured in November 2012 show the vortex hurricane over Saturn’s north pole, with wind speeds clocked around 330mph (530km/h)
Here’s a look into the ~1,930-km (1200-mile) -wide vortex swirling around Saturn's north pole. This is a color-composite made from images captured by #Cassini in visible-light filters on June 14, 2013 from ~800,000 km. Learn more about this feature here: https://t.co/DgJvvxx7Tx
Here's a look into the star-forming region S106, assembled from image data captured by @HubbleTelescope in infrared wavelengths on February 13, 2011 (PI Keith Noll). A newborn star is blasting away a space within the cloud from which it formed, 3,300 light-years away.
