Astronomy Picture of the Day

APOD for August 28, 2016

A good place to get a daily Astronomy fix is NASA‘s Astronomy Picture of the Day.  Have a look!  Each day there’s a beautiful picture with a description written by professional astronomers.

The image shown here is a large cluster of galaxies, in which the gravity from the galaxies and the dark matter magnify and distort images of much more distant background galaxies.
