They shift the wavelengths. Say you have infrared light from 1000 to 1500 nm. You can divide the wavelength by 2.5 and get a range of 400 to 600 nm. Which is in the visible range.

The thing is it's kinda meaningless to talk about "real" colors. Our eyes would not even be able to see most of this shit because it's shifted so far into the infrared that it's outside the spectrum of visible light. And the rest is so dim that our eyes can't pick up enough light to make out details.

If you could actually go in space and observe the brightest stuff it would mostly look like a fuzzy red/white haze. You wouldn't ever be able to actually see such details as you can from telescopes.

The best way to get a good idea of this is to get a good pair of binoculars and go out on a very dark night and look for the Andromeda galaxy. It will appear as a very diffuse patch of white light.

All the colors you see from telescope images do correspond to certain wavelengths though, so they are internally consistent and that's all that matters.
