Look above the bright, light-speckled galaxy in the foreground of this Hubble Space Telescope (NASAHubble) image to see galaxies smeared and twisted into odd shapes, arcs and streaks. This phenomenon indicates the presence of a giant galaxy cluster, which is bending the light coming from the galaxies behind it with its monstrous gravitational influence! Located some three billion light-years away, this cluster of galaxies has been studied for its strong lensing properties – where their gravity stretches and warps the light of more distant galaxies sitting behind them, creating these weird and spectacular arcs.
