STIS is Hubble's spectrograph. It usually doesn't make images*. Sometimes, though, it does, and I feel lucky when I find them, because they can really be quite good. The colors are cobbled together from a variety of sources other than STIS. Some from WFPC2, others from WFC3. Color data wasn't available for the whole frame, so the top corners are monochrome. Still looks pretty good. Even got some H-alpha data in there.
There is a lot of dust in this nucleus, and apparently a lot of star formation going on. We can easily see the pink fluffs of clouds which are associated with the processes of star formation.
Phil Plait tells me it makes a lot of images. I must be missing something when browsing the archive. I will try to be more watchful in the future.
