NASA and Phys.org report that the Hubble Space Telescope has captured a new view of a galaxy cluster, showing many galaxies of different shapes and sizes concentrated toward the center-left of the image. The images also include several foreground stars that appear bright in the foreground. Because of how Hubble’s optics form images, those stars are marked by distinctive spikes extending outward from each point of light. The outlets describe these spikes as diffraction spikes, caused by the diffraction of light around the supports for Hubble’s secondary mirror. In the Phys.org coverage, the cluster is identified as MACS J1141.6-1905, linking the visual description to that specific target. NASA’s description focuses on the visual features of the scene—cluster member galaxies, foreground stars, and the diffraction artifacts produced by the telescope’s secondary mirror structure—without adding additional interpretation beyond how the features appear in the image. Both sources present the observation as an imaging result from Hubble, emphasizing the appearance of the cluster and the optical origin of the star spikes.
