Giant Cluster Bends, Breaks Images

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

This image features a giant galaxy cluster bending and breaking the light from a background galaxy. The cluster's gravity, combined with its dark matter, acts as a gravitational lens, creating multiple, distorted images of the distant blue galaxy. This phenomenon is analogous to seeing multiple points of light through a wine glass.
