Abell 2218: A Galaxy Cluster Lens
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
Gravity can bend light, as seen in this Hubble Space Telescope image of galaxy cluster Abell 2218. The cluster is so massive that its gravity acts as a lens, bending light from background galaxies. This distorts them into long, faint arcs, a clear example of gravitational lensing.
