One of the Many Galaxies in the Virgo Galaxy Cluster
Edited Hubble Space Telescope image of the elliptical galaxy NGC 4660 in the Virgo Cluster.
Original caption: Virgo cluster galaxy NGC 4660, na elliptical located about 50 million light-years from Earth. Hubble's "eye" is so sharp that it was able to pick out the fuzzy globular clusters, which, at that distance, look like individual stars bunched up around the galaxies, instead of groupings of stars.
