COSMIC MESSAGE
This image shows the Einstein Cross, a gravitational lens where a foreground galaxy's gravity bends light from a distant quasar. The quasar's light is split into four distinct images, creating the appearance of a cloverleaf. The galaxy's nucleus itself is not visible in the image, but its mass creates this striking mirage.
