Optical image of galaxies in the Coma cluster
Coma galaxy cluster. True-colour optical image of galaxies in the Coma cluster, lying in the constellation Coma Berenices. The two brightest galaxies (at centre) are NGC 4889 (left) and NGC 4874 (right). Many other, fainter, galaxies are seen as fuzzy blobs around the two brighter ones. The Coma cluster contains around 100 galaxies, and lies around 300 million light years away. This image was produced by digitally combining photographs taken by the UK Schmidt Telescope in blue and red light

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of galaxies in the Coma cluster, located in the constellation Coma Berenices. The true-color optical image captures a stunning array of celestial wonders, with NGC 4889 and NGC 4874 taking center stage as the two brightest galaxies. These majestic giants are surrounded by numerous fainter galaxies, appearing as ethereal fuzzy blobs that add to the cosmic spectacle. The Coma cluster boasts an impressive collection of approximately 100 galaxies, each contributing to the vastness and complexity of our universe. Situated around 300 million light years away from Earth, this distant galactic congregation is a testament to both its immense scale and profound mystery. Produced through digital manipulation of photographs taken by the renowned UK Schmidt Telescope in blue and red light, this image offers a glimpse into the awe-inspiring realm of cosmology. It serves as a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit to understand our place within this vast expanse. Science Photo Library presents this remarkable piece that encapsulates not only scientific exploration but also artistic appreciation for these celestial marvels. As we gaze upon this visual masterpiece, we are reminded of our infinitesimal presence amidst countless stars and galaxies yet inspired by their boundless wonderment.
