| Description |
English: This mammoth galaxy cluster, called Abell 2744 and nicknamed Pandora's Cluster, was imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope as part of the Frontier Fields program, in which Hubble teamed with NASA's other Great Observatories to probe the early universe by studying large galaxy clusters.
The cluster is so massive that its powerful gravity bends the light from galaxies far behind it, making the background objects appear larger and brighter in a phenomenon called gravitational lensing. Gravitational lensing allows telescopes to see very distant galaxies that would otherwise be beyond their reach.
