Half-no and yes. Most of the images are either false-colour or composites - i.e. they're either taken in infrared and then processed into visible colour differences, or they're taken at multiple visible/infrared/ultraviolet light wavelengths and then blended together. However, many of the objects imaged do produce visible light emissions, so you could theoretically travel to them and see them with your own eyes.
iunfrared images scale down to grey ( black-white) so together with thermal images, and what no more we color them in ourselfs.

I am afraid we see more by using this technique than we do with our own eyes. No matter what.
