HST view of gravitational lens 0024+1654

Gravitational lens. Hubble Space Telescope (HST) image showing the phenomenon of gravitational lensing. At centre is a cluster of galaxies (yellow) called 0024+1654 about 5 billion light years away. About twice as far away is a galaxy. The intense gravitational field of the cluster curves the space around it. Light from the distant galaxy passes through this curved space and is magnified, brightened and distorted by it much as a curved piece of glass - lens - affects light. The result is a pattern of images of the distant galaxy (blue arcs left, upper left and right). This image was made on 14 October 1994

Experience the awe-inspiring wonders of the universe with Media Storehouse's Photographic Prints featuring the HST view of gravitational lens 0024+1654. This stunning image captured by the Hubble Space Telescope showcases the intriguing phenomenon of gravitational lensing, where the gravitational pull of a cluster of galaxies, depicted as a yellow mass at the center, distorts and magnifies the light from galaxies behind it, creating multiple images. Bring this breathtaking cosmic sight into your home or office with our high-quality, museum-grade prints, and let the beauty of the universe be a constant reminder of the wonders that lie beyond our world.

Ideal for framing, Australian made Photo Prints are produced on high-quality 270 gsm lustre photo paper which has a subtle shimmer adding a touch of elegance, designed to enhance their visual appeal.

Our Photo Prints are in a large range of sizes and are printed on Archival Quality Paper for excellent colour reproduction and longevity. They are ideal for framing (our Framed Prints use these) at a reasonable cost. Alternatives include cheaper Poster Prints and higher quality Fine Art Paper, the choice of which is largely dependant on your budget.

Estimated Product Size is 20.3cm x 25.4cm (8" x 10")

These are individually made so all sizes are approximate

Artwork printed orientated as per the preview above, with portrait (vertical) orientation to match the source image.


EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the incredible phenomenon of gravitational lensing, as captured by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The image portrays a cluster of galaxies known as 0024+1654, situated approximately 5 billion light years away. At twice that distance lies a solitary galaxy. The mesmerizing aspect of this photograph lies in the intense gravitational field generated by the central cluster, which bends and curves space around it. As a result, light emanating from the distant galaxy passes through this warped space and undergoes magnification, brightness enhancement, and distortion – much like how a curved piece of glass affects light. The outcome is an enchanting pattern of images depicting blue arcs on the left side, upper left corner, and right side of the frame. These arcs represent multiple distorted reflections of the remote galaxy caused by its interaction with gravitational lensing. Captured on October 14th, 1994, this extraordinary snapshot serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of understanding our vast universe. It sheds light on fundamental concepts such as gravity's influence on celestial objects and Einstein's theory of general relativity. This awe-inspiring image from Science Photo Library not only appeals to astronomy enthusiasts but also sparks curiosity among those interested in cosmology and scientific exploration at large.
