(NASA. LARGE FORMAT. HUBBLE. ABELL 3827) This detailed image shows Abell 3827, a galaxy cluster that offers a multitude of exciting study possibilities. It was observed by Hubble in order to study dark matter, one of the greatest enigmas facing cosmologists today. The scientific team used Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) and Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) to carry out their observations. The two cameras have different specifications and can observe different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. Their joint use therefore enabled astronomers to gather more comprehensive information. Abell 3827 was also previously observed by Hubble, due to the interesting gravitational lens at its heart.Vintage chromogenic print. Numbering on front.
