Abell 2744, Pandoras Cluster
Abell 2744, Pandoras Cluster. This giant galaxy cluster is the result of a simultaneous pile-up of at least four separate, smaller galaxy clusters that took place over a span of 350 million years. The galaxies in the cluster make up less than five percent of its mass. The gas (around 20 percent) is so hot that it shines only in X-rays (colored red in this image). The distribution of invisible dark matter (making up around 75 percent of the clusters mass) is colored here in blue

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing Abell 2744, also known as Pandoras Cluster. This colossal galaxy cluster is a result of an extraordinary cosmic event where four smaller galaxy clusters collided over a staggering span of 350 million years. The galaxies within this cluster contribute to less than five percent of its overall mass. In this image, the scorching hot gas, which constitutes around 20 percent of the cluster's mass, emits X-rays that are beautifully depicted in red hues. On the other hand, the distribution of invisible dark matter, making up approximately 75 percent of the clusters' mass, is strikingly illustrated in shades of blue. The photograph captures not only the celestial beauty but also provides us with a glimpse into our vast universe. It portrays an abundance of star clusters and cosmic dust that add to its ethereal glow. The luminous stars scattered throughout create a majestic and awe-inspiring view from space. This full-frame image emphasizes the grandeur and infinity present in our universe while showcasing vibrant colors that bring out its true essence. With no human presence captured within this picture, it allows us to focus solely on appreciating nature's remarkable creation.
