The Hydra Cluster of Galaxies is the focus of the Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) for February 16. It is by astrophotographer Marco Lorenzi who has had a lifelong fascination with the night sky. There is a link to his web page where you can learn more about him, his equipment, and page through his galleries.

The explanation with its links takes a different format this time. The text was generated by ChatGPT, another reason I have for the post. He also includes the appropriate apologies for the inspiration. 

The image is smashing.
