Oct. 25 (UPI) -- The European Southern Observatory has released a 2.3-gigapixel image of the Fornax Cluster, the second most populous galaxy cluster within 100 million light-years of the Milky Way. The image is one of the largest ever released by ESO.
The giant image was captured using the VLT Survey Telescope, located at ESO's Paranal Observatory in Chile. It was captured as part of the ongoing Fornax Deep Survey, an effort to render the galaxy cluster in a variety of wavelengths.
