About This Gravitational Lensing in Abell 1689 Image
Abell 1689 is one of the most massive galaxy clusters known. The gravity of its trillion stars, plus dark matter, acts like a 2 million light year wide lens in space. The gravitational lens bends and magnifies the light of galaxies far behind it.Credit: NASA, N. Benitez (JHU), T. Broadhurst (Racah Institute of Physics/The Hebrew University), H. Ford (JHU), M.
