Abell 2218: A Galaxy Cluster Lens
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
Gravity can bend light, and this Hubble Space Telescope image of galaxy cluster Abell 2218 shows it. The cluster's immense gravity acts like a lens, distorting light from galaxies behind it. These background galaxies appear as stretched-out arcs, a cosmic lensing effect. The cluster is about three billion light-years away.
