A computer-simulated image depicting a galaxy cluster. A large elliptical galaxy is at the center, surrounded by numerous smaller galaxies. Distant galaxies appear as arcs due to gravitational lensing from the cluster's dark matter. This simulates the enhanced capabilities of the Hubble Space Telescope's Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS).
