The Hercules Galaxy Cluster: "A Collection of Miniatures" (Wide-field) | ESO


The galaxy cluster appears as a tiny swarm of faint galaxies close to the center of the image. This visible-light wide-field image of the region around the Hercules cluster of galaxies was created from photographs taken through blue and red filters and forming part of the Digitized Sky Survey 2.
