Giant Cluster Bends, Breaks Images
These strange blue objects are multiple images of a single, beaded, blue, ring-like galaxy. They appear due to a giant cluster of yellow galaxies and their dark matter, which act as a gravitational lens. This lens bends and magnifies the light from the background galaxy, creating several distorted images.
