Zoom into Galaxy Cluster Abell 1689 and a Remote Dusty Galaxy | Hubble

A zoom into the galaxy cluster Abell 1689. The NASA/European Space Agency Hubble Space Telescope, with a boost from the natural gravitational lensing of this cluster, can faintly detect the remote galaxy A1689-zD1 seen just 700 million years after the beginning of our Universe. This object has been detected by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and had its distance measured using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (VLT).
