... Credit Copyright: NASA , ESA , Hubble Heritage/ESA-Hubble Collaboration - Acknowledgment: Nick Rose Explanation: Want to use a cluster of galaxies as a telescope? It's easier than you might think as distant galaxy clusters naturally act as strong gravitional lenses. In accordance with Einstein's theory of general relativity, the cluster gravitational mass, dominated by dark matter, bends light and creates magnified, distorted images of even more distant background galaxies. ...

A new calibration technique has been tested recently that consists of waiting for supernovas of a very specific type to occur behind a galaxy cluster, and then figuring out how much the cluster must have magnified these supernovas through gravitational lensing. ...

Astronomy.com - A star cluster hides star clusters 4/2/08 11:35 AM News A star cluster hides star clusters Deep Hubble images of NGC 6397 reveal the most distant star clusters ever seen. Francis Reddy January 10, 2007 W hile exploring deep Hubble Space Telescope images of a globular star cluster called NGC 6397, astronomers stumbled on a distant background galaxy harboring hundreds of similar clusters. Each is so distant, it appears only as a faint point of light, even to Hubble's keen eye. ...

STScI-PF95-14 FOR RELEASE: APRIL 5, 1995 HUBBLE VIEWS DISTANT GALAXIES THROUGH A COSMIC LENS This NASA Hubble Space Telescope image of the rich galaxy cluster, Abell 2218, is a spectacular example of gravitational lensing. The arc-like pattern spread across the picture like a spider web is an illusion caused by the gravitational field of the cluster. ... The arcs are the distorted images of a very distant galaxy population extending 5-10 times farther than the lensing cluster. ...

... It is one of the most striking examples of gravitational lensing, where the gravitational field of a foreground galaxy bends and amplifies the light of a more distant background galaxy. In this image, the light from a distant galaxy, nearly 10 billion light-years away, has been warped into a nearly 90ТА arc of light in the galaxy cluster RCS2 032727-132623. The galaxy cluster lies 5 billion light-years away. ...

... In one situation, we can use light from quasars to probe the material between us and them because that light may pass through one or more galaxies or gas clouds on its way to us. The gas inside the galaxies or the intergalactic clouds acts then as a filter, absorbing selected wavelengths from the quasar light. ... Light from a quasar must pass through clouds of gas and even faint galaxies -- each leaving its imprint on the light -- before we receive it here on Earth. ... Gravitational lensing . ...
