Art: “Defy actuality” (Adrian Glass 2016)
The cosmological aspect to this image is that color in space, from the images taken by satellites, more so the Hubble space telescope – exist only in a narrow spectrum that the human eye can not detect. So in an overall sense there is no color spectrum in space, the digital images that are beamed back to Earth from Hubble are calibrated to have colors added. This is our artificial imprint on image that is black and white.
Please refer to the Veil Nebula taken by Hubble (Image from http://heritage.stsci.edu/ All credit due):
