Abell 370, a galaxy cluster located nearly 4 billion light-years away from Earth features several arcs of light, including the "Dragon Arc" (lower left of center). These arcs are caused by ...
Due to its gravitational lensing effect, Abell 370 stretches the Dragon Arc's signature spiral into an elongated shape -- like a hall of mirrors of cosmic proportions. In December 2022 and 2023 ...
