Galaxy cluster MACS J0717
Galaxy cluster MACS J0717, composite image. This massive galaxy cluster was formed when four separate galaxy clusters collided. The hot gases in this image are colour-coded to show temperature, red gases are coolest, purple are hotter and blue are the hottest. The collisions are a result of a 13 million light year long stream of galaxies and other matter flowing into an already crowded region. The galaxy cluster is located 5.4 billion light years from Earth in the constellation Auriga. Image obtained by combining data from the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer on the Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) Wide Field Channel (WFC) on the Hubble Space Telescope

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring galaxy cluster MACS J0717, a result of an extraordinary cosmic collision. The composite image beautifully captures the aftermath of four separate galaxy clusters merging together, forming this colossal entity. The vibrant colors in the image represent varying temperatures of the hot gases within the cluster. Cooler gases are depicted in red hues, while hotter ones appear as purple and blue shades, signifying their scorching intensity. This mesmerizing display is a testament to the immense forces at play during these collisions. Spanning an astonishing 13 million light years long, a stream of galaxies and matter flowed into this already crowded region, triggering these dramatic encounters. Located 5.4 billion light years away from Earth in the constellation Auriga, MACS J0717 stands as a distant marvel that continues to astound astronomers. To capture this remarkable sight, data from two powerful instruments were combined: the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer on board Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) Wide Field Channel on Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The merger of optical and X-ray observations allowed scientists to unveil intricate details about this galactic spectacle. As we gaze upon this stunning photograph by Science Photo Library, we are reminded once again of our place in an ever-expanding universe where celestial bodies collide with breathtaking consequences.
