Most of the galaxies visible in this Hubble image are members of a huge cluster called CLASS B1608+656, which lies about 5 billion light-years away.

Fred, also known more prosaically as [FMK2006] ACS J160919+6532, lies near the lens galaxies in CLASS B1608+656, while Ginger ([FMK2006] ACS J160910+6532) is markedly closer to us. ...
