“The Hercules Cluster of Galaxies” is copyrighted by Jim Misti (Misti Mountain Observatory). NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Hercules Cluster is a collection of galaxies about 650 million light-years away, filled with star-forming spiral galaxies. These spirals appear with a blue tint in this composite image, while the fewer elliptical galaxies, which lack gas and dust, show a yellowish cast. Many galaxies here appear to be interacting or merging.
