CLASH Galaxy Cluster MACS J2129-0741
MACS J2129-0741
5.7 billion light-years
The Hubble image was created from HST data from proposal 12100 P.I. M. Postman (STScI)
ACS/WFC F435W, F475W, F606W, F625W, F775W, F814W, F850LP, WFC3/IR F105W, F110W, F125W, F140W, F160W
Color: These images are a composite of separate exposures acquired by the ACS and WFC3 instruments on the Hubble Space Telescope. Several filters were used to sample narrow wavelength ranges. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic (grayscale) image associated with an individual filter. In this case, the assigned colors are:
Blue: ACS/WFC F435W+F475W+F606W+F625W
Green: ACS/WFC F775W+F814W+F850LP
Red: WFC3/IR F105W+F110W+F125W+F140W+F160W
This is a wider view of galaxy cluster MACS J2129-0741, located in the constellation Aquarius. The massive galaxy cluster magnifies, brightens, and distorts the images of remote background galaxies, including the far-distant, dead disk galaxy MACS2129-1.
