Wide-field view of the Fornax Galaxy Cluster Wall Art space At the time the imageThe Fornax Galaxy Cluster is one of the closest such groupings beyond our own Local Group of galaxies. This visible light wide field image of the cluster was created from photographs taken through red and blue filters and forming part of the Digitized Sky Survey 2. The field of view is approximately three degrees across. Credit: ESO and Digitized Sky Survey 2. Acknowledgment: Davide De Martin
