Pan over Galaxy Cluster ACO S520 in Pictor | Hubble

A menagerie of interesting astronomical finds fill this image from the NASA/European Space Agency Hubble Space Telescope. As well as several large elliptical galaxies, a ring-shaped galaxy is lurking on the right of this image. A pair of bright stars are also visible at the left of this image, notable for their colorful criss-crossing diffraction spikes. This collection of astronomical curiosities is the galaxy cluster ACO S520 in the constellation Pictor, which was captured by Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys.
