Ugh:

A Lot of Galaxies Need Guarding in this NASA Hubble View

Awesome:

That there is the galaxy cluster Abel 370, several hundred galaxies located some four billion light years away. There is a *lot* of gravitational lensing going on here. I believe the only foreground stars visible are the dozen or so bright objects with the “lens flare;” everything else is an entire galaxy of billions to trillions of stars.

Tell me that ain’t awesome.

SCIENCE!
