“Hubble Captures Formation of “Galaxy Monster” Through Gravitational Lensing

The “Hubble” space telescope of the American and European space agencies, NASA and Europe, captured the “galaxy monster” according to its designation by astronomers in the process of formation. It was called “eMACS J1353.7 + 4329”, located 8 billion light-years from Earth in the constellation Canes Venatici. Two groups of galaxies in the process of merging act as a gravitational lens.

Gravitational lensing is an example of how Einstein’s general theory of relativity works.

This monster, according to astronomers, bends the path of light from other objects in the universe, allowing them to observe objects that may be too faint and far away to be detected.
