Demonstration of Gravitational Lensing by a Massive Cluster of Galaxies

Posted by

The largest clusters of galaxies are massive enough to produce visual distortions of distant galaxies known as “gravitational lensing”. This video demonstrates these visual effects. A scientific simulation shows the imagery that would be obtained if a nearby galaxy could pass behind a large cluster. By using a recognizable object for the distant galaxy, the effects of the gravitational lensing become more apparent.... Read More | Share it now!
