About this Object Object Name: 47 Tucanae, NGC 104 Object Description: Globular Cluster Position (J2000.0): RA: 00h 24m 05s.67 Dec: -72° 04' 52".6 Constellation: Tucana Distance: 16,700 light-years (5,100 parsecs) About the Data Data Description: The optical/UV image of 47 Tucanae was created from Hubble data from proposal 10048, PI: J. Mack and R. Gillian (STScI) and 12311, PI: G. Piotto (University of Padova, Italy) et al. Instruments and Filters: ACS/WFC: F606W (V) and F814W (I) WFC3/UVIS: F275W (UV), F225W (UV) and F336W (U) Dates: November 2003 - September 2004, November 2010 About this Image Credit: NASA, ESA, and the Hubble Heritage (STScI/AURA)-ESA/Hubble Collaboration Release Date: May 14, 2015 Colors: These images are composites of separate exposures acquired by the ACS and the WFC3 instruments on the Hubble Space Telescope. Several filters were used to sample broad and narrow wavelength ranges. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic (grayscale) image associated with an individual filter. In this case, the assigned colors are: F475W (B) blue F606W (V) green F814W (I) red F275W (UV) purple Orientation/Scale:
