Deep Field South Galaxy Cluster Survey: 70x Zoom | Euclid Space Telescope | ESA

This image shows an area of the European Space Agency Euclid space telescope’s Deep Field South survey. The area is zoomed in 70 times compared to its larger mosaic.

Various huge galaxy clusters are visible in this image, as well as intra-cluster light, and gravitational lenses. The cluster near the center is called J041110.98-481939.3, and is located almost 6 billion light-years away.

Image Description: A sea of galaxies of many shapes and sizes, oriented in all directions and many with spiral arms visible. A large, nearby face-on spiral galaxy draws attention at the bottom center of the image. Two bright stars in the center and to the left are seen with prominent diffraction spikes. In between the two stars lie a lensed galaxy cluster, with arc-like smears surrounding the central bright galaxy cluster.
