Scientists using a Hubble telescope received a snapshot of the cluster Abell 370, which contains several hundred galaxies, gravitationally related to each other. NASA published a picture, timed to coincide with the release of the film "The Guardians of Galaxy 2," according to the agency's website.

The largest and brightest cluster galaxies are white and yellow, they are massive elliptical galaxies and contain several billion stars each.

Spiral galaxies that resemble the Milky Way are painted in a bluish color.

The picture also shows blue arches. These are the galaxies that are located behind the cluster and are too weak for the "Hubble" to "examine".

Earlier it was reported that the Hubble telescope photographed the edge of the Big Bang. In total, astronomers discovered more than 250 small galaxies that existed between 600 and 900 million years after the Big Bang. Light from these galaxies has traveled a path length of 12 billion years.
