"For the first time we can view the internal color structure
of some very distant galaxies. This gives us new insight into
details of what young galaxies are like," says Professor Richard
Ellis at the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, and a
co-investigator on the original (black-and-white) Hubble image of
Abell 2218 taken in 1994. "The color of a distant source is
preserved by gravitational lensing. By matching images of the same
color, families of multiple images produced by the lensing process
can be identified."
