Hubble’s View of the Gravitational Lens Galaxy Cluster 0024+1654
This Hubble image shows several blue, loop-shaped objects that actually are multiple images of the same galaxy. The gravitational lens created by the cluster of yellow, elliptical and spiral galaxies near the image’s center distorted, magnified, and duplicated the distant galaxy.
