Hubble Space Telescope data processed by Lynn Hilborn<br />
No, this is not a Salvador Dali painting, it is galaxy cluster Abell 68 showing gravitational lens effect.<br />
Want to use a cluster of galaxies as a telescope? It's easier than you might think as distant galaxy clusters naturally act as strong gravitional lenses. In accordance with Einstein's theory of general relativity, the cluster gravitational mass, dominated by dark matter, bends light and creates magnified, distorted images of even more distant background galaxies. This sharp infrared Hubble image illustrates the case for galaxy cluster Abell 68 as a gravitational telescope.
