🐉 A Cosmic “Dragon” Magnified by Gravity
This remarkable view of the galaxy cluster Abell 370 reveals the “Dragon” — a distant background galaxy whose light has been magnified and stretched by the cluster’s immense gravity.
This phenomenon, known as gravitational lensing, allows astronomers to study galaxies that would otherwise be too faint and distant to see clearly.
