Wow… just look at those arcs! Possibly the nicest image I’ve seen showing gravitational lensing at work… The force is strong with this one!

Is it too much to ask what galaxy cluster this is?

We’re learning about galaxies in astronomy right now.  the universe is so fucking fascinating. it’s impossible to fathom how TINY we really, truly are.

Incredible.
