... STScI-PF95-14 FOR RELEASE: APRIL 5, 1995 HUBBLE VIEWS DISTANT GALAXIES THROUGH A COSMIC LENS This NASA Hubble Space Telescope image of the rich galaxy cluster, Abell 2218, is a spectacular example of gravitational lensing. The arc-like pattern spread across the picture like a spider web is an illusion caused by the gravitational field of the cluster. ... The arcs are the distorted images of a very distant galaxy population extending 5-10 times farther than the lensing cluster. ...

... GSAOI Home . ... Science . ... The goal of this project is to detect the termination of the white dwarf cooling sequence in nearby open star clusters, and hence derive cluster ages that are independent of the normal main sequence turnoff method. ... The potential for accurate proper motion measurements, i.e., measurements of transverse motion across the sky, with GSAOI offers a means of overcoming this difficulty. ...

... 2001: . The distances to 50 galaxies in the vicinity of three most nearby galaxy clusters were measured. The radius of the "zero velocity sphere", isolating each group from the cosmological expansion is in the range from 0.95 to 1.25 Mpc for these groups, leads to the estimates of the total mass of groups ranging from 1.2 to 2.7 trillion solar masses. These results agree with the value of the mean matter density in the Local Universe from 0.05 to 0.10 in critical density units. ...
