In images you see on the internet, large cosmological conglomerations of matter are shown in often gorgeous and variegated colors.
Am I right in assuming that this is ALWAYS the results of applying false colors to show different wavelengths, or do any of them ever actually look that colorful through a powerful telescope? (I know that colors ARE just different visible wavelengths, I'm referring to false coloring to show wavelengths not visible to human eyes)
