An effect called strong gravitational lensing has allowed the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope to see the same remote galaxy twelve times. Called PSZ1 G311.65-18.48, the galaxy is almost 11 billion light-years from Earth and has been lensed by a massive foreground galaxy cluster 4.6 billion light-years away.
