DescriptionGalaxy Cluster MACS J0717.5+3745.jpg |
English: This image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows the galaxy cluster MACS J0717.5+3745, one of six galaxy clusters included in the Frontier Fields program, which has produced the deepest images of gravitational lensing ever made.
The huge mass of the cluster bends and magnifies the light of background objects. This is one of the most massive galaxy clusters known, and also the largest known gravitational lens, lensing the largest area of the sky.

JPEG file comment | This image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows the galaxy cluster MACSJ0717.5+3745. This is one of six being studied by the Hubble Frontier Fields programme, which together have produced the deepest images of gravitational lensing ever made. Due to the huge mass of the cluster it is bending the light of background objects, acting as a magnifying lens. It is one of the most massive galaxy clusters known, and it is also the largest known gravitational lens. Of all of the galaxy clusters known and measured, MACS J0717 lenses the largest area of the sky. |
