A composite image, of multiple infrared images taken in this cluster, this scene displays countless, distant galaxies, some of which are under the effect of a gravitational lens (Think of it a little as like how water can bend light and thus magnify images, the massive gravity of some galaxies can actually magnify the appearance of the galaxies whose light they intercept). Some of the galaxies you see here are displayed as they would have appeared 4.6 billion years ago, when their light first left them.
A little something to remind us all how our Earthly atrocities are not only horrific in their arbitrary callousness, but utterly meaningless by every significant metric.

Also, what are the chances you might actually be looking at some properly good places to move to...

it’s an extraordinary image, isn’t it? Almost unfathomably vast
