Abell 1351 is a cluster of more than 100 galaxies, and the massive amount of gravitational force causes the view of galaxies beyond to be distorted. Galaxy clusters contain galaxies of all sizes and shapes and have masses about a million billion times larger than the sun.

“This menagerie of massive clusters demonstrates interesting astrophysical phenomena, such as strong gravitational lensing, as well as showcasing spectacular examples of violent galaxy evolution,” the European Space Agency said in a statement.

Gravitational lensing occurs when a powerful gravitational field bends the light of objects in the same line of sight. This can cause the objects to appear magnified and distorted.
