Cosmic contortions!
This #HubbleFriday image includes a cluster near the center that appears to be "stretching" nearby galaxies.
The cluster is a gravitational lens, magnifying the light from background objects with its powerful gravitational field: go.nasa.gov/3m2fNSP

"Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.'
To all the stars!

This Hubble image shows star cluster M92. About 27,000 light-years away, itโs one of the oldest globular clusters in our galaxy.
Globular clusters are roughly spherical groupings of stars held together by their gravitational attraction: go.nasa.gov/41l5Jo8
#Hubble
Messier 92
With an apparent magnitude of 6.3, M92 is one of the brightest globular clusters in the Milky Way and is visible to the naked eye under good observing conditions.Rob Garner (NASA)
#Hubble
If you're curious about the empty portion, the center of M92 is very bright, so Webb isnโt able to capture it at the same time as the fainter stars at the edges.
Webbโs new observations can be combined with Hubble's existing data, allowing astronomers to learn more about M92.
