MY GOD… IT’S FULL OF GALAXIES The Hubble Space Telescope peered straight through the center of one of the most massive galaxy clusters known, called Abell 1689. For this observation, Hubble had to gaze at the distant cluster, located 2.2 billion light-years away, for more than 13 hours. The gravity of the cluster’s trillion stars - plus dark matter - acts as a 2-million-light-year-wide “lens” in space. This “gravitational lens” bends and magnifies the light of galaxies located far behind it, distorting their shapes and creating multiple images of individual galaxies. (via)
How beautiful and amazing is this image? And with that, ‘night.
