Infrared Pleiades
A reprocessing of the same data from this image. I tried to make them look a little more balanced and less like Skittles. My favorite part of the image are the tendrils of dust that look much like a brush stroke near Merope, to the lower left of center. It's one of those features that don't really show up in visible light for whatever reason.
The bottom edge of the picture includes only monochrome MIPS data that was colorized according to contextual data. Doing so gives Electra a little more breathing room.
Red: MIPS24 (24 microns)
Orange: IRAC4 (8 microns)
Green: IRAC3 (5.8 microns)
Cyan: IRAC2 (4.5 microns)
Blue: IRAC1 (3.6 microns)
North is NOT up. It is 78.2° clockwise from up.
