In this image the many galaxies of the massive cluster MACS J1149+2223 dominate the scene. This cluster played an important role in discovery of the newfound galaxy, known as MACS1149-JD.Gravitational lensing by this giant cluster brightened the light from the galaxysome 15 times, a galaxy which may be the most distant ever observed.
