COSMIC MESSAGE
These fuzzy blue patches are galaxies in Abell 3627, a cluster obscured by dust in our own Milky Way. Abell 3627 is thought to be near the center of the Great Attractor, a massive concentration of mass. Observations by Renee Kraan-Korteweg and her collaborators have helped us understand this hidden cluster.
