NOIRLab’s 570-megapixel Dark Energy Camera (DECam) captured this brilliant image of just a small section of the 230 galaxies that so far have been found to make up the Antlia Cluster, located 130 million light-years from Earth in the Antlia constellation. What stands out most are the two massive elliptical galaxies: NGC 3268 (center) and NGC 3258 (lower right).
