This Hubble image shows a giant cluster of galaxies called SDSS J0928+2031. The image is made up of observations from Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) in the infrared and optical parts of the spectrum. It is based on data obtained through four filters. The color results from assigning different hues to each monochromatic image associated with an individual filter. The image was made as part of the Sloan Giant Arcs Survey Program.
