{"product_id":"abell-2218-hubble-space-telescope-image","title":"Abell 2218 – Hubble Space Telescope Image","description":"\u003cp\u003eAbell 2218 spreads across this panoramic Hubble view as a densely populated field of galaxies, their gold, blue and amber light set against deep black. Near the centre, the brightest concentration gathers into a compact knot, while a softer, more diffuse grouping glows towards the upper right. Between them lie scores of smaller sources: some sharply defined, others reduced to faint flecks or narrow streaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLocated in the constellation Draco at a redshift of z=0.17, Abell 2218 is classified as a galaxy cluster and as a field of gravitationally lensed galaxies from the early Universe. That context gives particular significance to the image’s slender, elongated forms and elusive arcs. Amid the rounder galaxies, these attenuated shapes appear almost drawn out across the darkness, making the field visually stranger the longer it is examined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe strongest impression is one of extraordinary density without uniformity. Bright regions rise abruptly from broad intervals of black, and the balance shifts continually between crowded clusters and quieter spaces. Warm yellow and orange galaxies provide the dominant light, punctuated by cooler blue points and occasional traces of red and green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA closer look\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the centre, numerous compact lights surround the brightest concentration, each differing subtly in colour and intensity. Moving left, round forms give way to several narrow, elongated structures. Higher in the frame, particularly towards the upper left and upper right, faint curved strands emerge only gently from the background; they are among the image’s most delicate features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe lower portion is quieter at first glance, yet it contains a fine grain of dim galaxies and isolated points. Near the lower centre, one brighter streak cuts through the field, while along the edge subdued yellow-tinted highlights interrupt the black. Seen at large scale, these small variations prevent the darkness from feeling empty: it becomes the ground against which increasingly faint layers of the scene can be discerned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eImage details and provenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject:\u003c\/strong\u003e Abell 2218\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eObject type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Galaxy cluster; gravitationally lensed early-Universe galaxy field\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Draco\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistance from Earth:\u003c\/strong\u003e z=0.17 (redshift)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTelescope or observatories:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hubble Space Telescope\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal release date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24 July 2008, 17:00\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImage credit:\u003c\/strong\u003e NASA, ESA, and Johan Richard (Caltech, USA) Acknowledgement: Davide de Martin \u0026amp; James Long (ESA\/Hubble)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChoosing the right size and finish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFine art can feel intimate at smaller sizes and more architectural at larger ones.
