Visible & Infrared Light Reveal Galaxy Cluster MACS J1141 Details
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured galaxy cluster MACS J1141, utilizing both visible and infrared light to reveal a collection of galaxies clustered together. The observations, part of programs studying massive, X-ray bright clusters, also sought distant galaxies and interactions at the cluster’s core.
The diffraction spikes extending from bright stars in a new image of galaxy cluster MACS J1141 are not a property of the stars themselves, but a direct result of light bending around the supports holding Hubble’s secondary mirror. Captured in both visible and infrared light, the image reveals galaxies of various shapes and…
