This image shows an area of Euclid’s Deep Field South. The area is zoomed in 70 times compared to the large mosaic.
Various huge galaxy clusters are visible in this image, as well as intra-cluster light, and gravitational lenses. The cluster near the centre is called J041110.98-481939.3, and is located almost 6 billion light-years away.

[Image description: A sea of galaxies of many different shapes and sizes, oriented in all directions and many with spiral arms visible. A large, nearby face-on spiral galaxy draws attention at the bottom centre of the image. Two bright stars in the centre and to the left are seen with prominent diffraction spikes. In between the two stars lie a lensed galaxy cluster, with arc-like smears surrounding the central bright galaxy cluster.]
