Galaxy cluster MACS0416, located about billion light-years from Earth.
Galaxy cluster MACS0416, located about billion light-years from Earth. This cluster magnifies the light from more distant background galaxies through gravitational lensing. The bluest galaxies are relatively nearby and often show intense star formation, as best detected by Hubble, while the redder galaxies tend to be more distant, or else contain copious amount of dust.
