APOD 4.1

The Galaxy cluster Abell 2667 has a very curious appearance. The galaxy appears to be stretched like laffy taffy. To start, most of the yellow objects are members of one cluster. Each distorted galaxy is gravitationally lensed by Abell appearing like someone would look though a wine glass. The picture is taken from Hubble telescope.
