. Similar to an optical lens bending light to form an image, the galaxy cluster Abell 2218 is so massive and compact that light rays passing through it are deflected by its enormous gravitational field. This process (called gravitational lensing) magnifies, brightens, and distorts images of objects that lie far beyond the cluster. The thin arcs are distorted images of distant galaxies roughly 5-10 times farther than the cluster. A. Fruchter / STScI / NASA

... We have examined the diversity of planets and planetary systems that arise from oligarchic growth and gas accretion onto massive cores, by means of N-body simulations combined with a sophisticated disc model. ... Slow planetary growth resulted from the relatively low mass of solids in the disc, and one consequence of this is that planets underwent limited orbital migration during the lifetime of the gas disc. ... Figure 1 shows an example of this migration behaviour in a single-planetin-a-disc run. ...
