The galaxy ESO 300-16 looms over this captivating image from the Hubble Space Telescope. This galaxy, which lies 28.7 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Eridanus, is a ghostly assemblage of stars that resembles a sparkling cloud. A rogue’s gallery of distant galaxies and foreground
that resembles a sparkling cloud. A rogue’s gallery of distant galaxies and foreground stars completes this astronomical portrait, which was captured by the Advanced Camera for Surveys .This particular observation is one of a series that aims to get to know our galactic neighbors.
A team of astronomers proposed using small gaps in Hubble’s observing schedule to investigate the remaining quarter of the nearby galaxies.— meaning one million parsecs — is a unit of length used by astronomers to chart the mind-bogglingly large distances involved in astronomy. The motion of Earth around the Sun means that stars appear to slightly shift against very distant stars over the course of a year.

Image: Hubble captures cosmic clusterThe massive cluster Abell 3322 is featured in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, in which the galaxy 2MASX J05101744-4519179 basks in the center. This distant galaxy cluster is a cosmic leviathan that is highly luminous at X-ray wavelengths. Observing galaxy clusters like Abell 3322 can advance our understanding of the evolution and interactions of dark and luminous matter in galaxy clusters, and also reveals powerful gravitational 'telescopes' that magnify distant objects through gravitational lensing. Knowing the location of these lenses can enable future observations with both Hubble and the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope. The galaxy cluster is located in the constellation Pictor, around 2.6 billion light-years from Earth.
