Distant Galaxies in Grus

Click on image to see other versions

Galaxy Cluster ABEL 1111 z = 0.164 which corresponds to a
distance of over 2 billion light years! This means that the light
recorded here on my CCD chip left those galaxies well before major
life forms had even started to evolve on Earth!
