Gravity's Grin
Gravitational lensing, predicted by Einstein, creates the whimsical appearance of these distant galaxies. Nicknamed the Cheshire Cat galaxy group, two large elliptical galaxies are framed by arcs of light. These arcs are images of even more distant background galaxies, their light bent and magnified by the gravity of the galaxy group.
