#KnowledgeByte: #Abell209 is a massive #Galaxy #Cluster located in the constellation Cetus, approximately 2.8 to 3 billion light-years from Earth.

The cluster contains over 100 galaxies and its immense mass warps spacetime, allowing astronomers to study dark matter through a phenomenon called #Gravitational #Lensing.
