The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope photographed a large galaxy cluster Abell 1351 in the Northern Hemisphere in the constellation Ursa Major.
According to Ukrinform, the observatory reports.
The photo was taken with ACS (Advanced Camera for Surveys) and WFC3 (Wide Field Camera 3) cameras.
It is stated that the image is full of light bands, which are actually images of distant galaxies.
Also, these bands are the result of gravitational lensing, an astrophysical phenomenon that occurs when a large celestial body, such as a galaxy cluster, distorts space-time so strongly that it affects the path of light passing through it, almost as if passing light. through a giant lens.
Gravitational lensing comes in two forms, strong and weak, and both can give astronomers an idea of the mass distribution within a lens cluster like the Abell 1351.
As Ukrinform reported, the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope photographed the globular star cluster Terzan 9 in the constellation Sagittarius, in the central direction of the Milky Way galaxy.
