APOD from 2007-03-05
Illusion and Evolution in #Galaxy Cluster Abell 2667
Hubble's image of Abell 2667 shows galaxies undergoing different processes. One is breaking up due to ram pressure stripping as it moves through the cluster, forming new star knots. Another appears stretched by gravitational lensing but is actually behind the cluster, undistorted. These phenomena help us understand galactic evolution.
