Baby Stars Caught In A Galactic Spider Web

This picture was created by a talented artist and although this isn't a real photograph, it's not just a figment of the artist's imagination either. This picture was created based on real information to give us a realistic view of this galaxy cluster coming to life 10 billion years ago!

It shows the Spiderweb Galaxy forming at the centre of a galaxy cluster. The Spiderweb Galaxy is one of the oldest galaxies ever discovered, and it's made up of dozens of smaller galaxies all merging together!
