Young galaxy lensed by cluster Abell 383. The central bright object is a young galaxy that formed billion years ago, 200 million years after the Big Bang. The thin arcs are additional lensing by the gravitational field of the cluster. Galaxy clusters are gravitationally bound groupings of galaxies. They can contain hundreds of galaxies and be millions of light years across. Abell 383 is billion light years away, in the constellation of Eridanus. Image data obtained from November 2010 to March 2011 by Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) and the IR (infrared) sensor on Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3).
