Description
This is a digitally enhanced image of a Hubble Space Telescope capture of a very massive cluster of galaxies, MACS J0416.1-2403, located about 4 billion light-years away from us and weighing as much as a million billion suns. The cluster's immense gravitational field magnifies the image of galaxies far behind it by a phenomenon called gravitational lensing.
Hubble is the only telescope designed to be serviced in space by astronauts. After launch by the Space Shuttle Discovery in 1990, four subsequent Space Shuttle missions repaired, upgraded, and replaced systems on the telescope. Hubble was built by NASA, with contribution from the European Space Agency (ESA), and is operated by the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland. Hubble's successor James Webb Space Telescope is due to be launched in 2018.
I have modified the raw Hubble image considerably by reducing noise and enhacing the colors, contrast, beauty, balance and luminosity, in order to provide you a breathtaking, high quality, fine art print through this website. The original noisy and dull NASA raw capture is in public domain.
