Description

Abell 2151 is one of several Galaxy Clusters in the Hercules Super Cluster. There are about 200 galaxies in this image, averaging about 500 million light years from Earth. The light captured in this image was emitted roughly 260 million years before dinosaurs roamed the Earth. This is my capstone for my first Galaxy Season.
