Hubble Captures Galaxy Cluster MACS0329-0211 With Gravity-Warped Light Forming Figure-Eight Shape
By
Jamie Redman
Summary
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured a stunning image of MACS0329-0211, a massive galaxy cluster whose immense gravity warps and bends light from more distant galaxies into arcs, curves, and a prominent central figure-eight shape. The cluster, described as looking "somewhat like a swarm of bees returning to their hive," contains a diverse mix of galaxy types including large ellipticals, edge-on spirals, lenticulars, and face-on spirals, all bound together as one of the universe's largest gravitationally bound structures.
