Hubble Space Telescope spies multiple galaxy clusters masquerading as one (image)

A spattering of galaxies litters the black of space.

The Hubble Space Telescope has scored a double whammy, as it captured two independent galaxy clusters grouped together in the same view. 

The massive galaxy cluster conglomerate, originally labeled Abell 3192 as it was believed to only be one cluster, is located in the constellation Eridanus. The foreground cluster observed is located about 2.3 billion light-years from Earth, while the further group is roughly 5.4 billion light-years away, according to a statement from the European Space Agency (ESA).
