Description
This Hubble Space Telescope image shows two galaxies from the dense cluster SDSS J1531+3414 in the northern constellation Corona Borealis. The two galaxies have been found to be merging into one, and a chain of young stellar superclusters are seen winding around the galaxies' nuclei. The galaxies are surrounded by an egg-shaped blue ring caused by the immense gravity of the cluster bending light from other galaxies beyond it.
