COSMIC MESSAGE

This image shows a region of sky specifically chosen for its apparent emptiness. It contains no bright stars, galaxies, or nebulae. However, distant galaxies are visible, their light slightly distorted by the gravity of more nearby galaxies. This distortion allows astronomers to study the distribution of mass in the universe.
