... These Frontier Fields will combine the power of HST with the natural gravitational telescopes of high-magnification clusters of galaxies. ... We are soliciting gravitational lensing maps for the last four Hubble Frontier Fields clusters (MACSJ0717.5+3745, MACSJ1149.5+2223, AbellS1063, and Abell 370) based upon the exceptionally deep HST FF imaging and other new ancillary data. ... For the full set of proposal instructions and requirements, see the FY16 Frontier Fields Lensing Map Call for Proposals....

... 2002 June 20 . Bright Galaxy M81 . ... Explanation: Big and beautiful spiral galaxy M81 , in the northern constellation Ursa Major , is one of the brightest galaxies visible in the skies of planet Earth.

... Credit Copyright: HST , ESA , NASA Explanation: "Beautiful Nebula discovered between the Balance [Libra] the Serpent [Serpens] ..." begins the description of the 5th entry in 18th century astronomer Charles Messier's famous catalog of nebulae and star clusters. Though it appeared to Messier to be fuzzy and round and without stars, Messier 5 (M5) is now known to be a globular star cluster, 100,000 stars or more, bound by gravity and packed into a region around 165 light-years in diameter. ...

... December 13, 1997 . The Coma Cluster of Galaxies . ... The Coma Cluster of Galaxies pictured is one of the densest clusters known - it contains thousands of galaxies . Each of these galaxies house billions of stars - just as our own Milky Way Galaxy does. ... In fact, the Coma Cluster is so big it takes light millions of years just to go from one side to the other! Most galaxies in Coma and other clusters are ellipticals , while most galaxies outside of clusters are spirals . ...

Dense regions reach a maximum size and then fall back into a bound object like a cluster of galaxies. Once the cluster is formed, its physical size remains essentially constant. The space-time diagram below . shows a dense region in blue on the left. ... The galaxies in the blue region are accelerating more just because the region is denser and therefore has higher gravitational forces. ... Tutorial : Part 1 | Part 2 | ...
