High-resolution image from the Large Binocular Telescope on Mount Graham, Arizona, shows two foreground galaxies glowing in yellow and red, surrounded by five separate images of a distant supernova. The gravity of the galaxies bends the supernova’s light along five different paths, creating the multiple images seen from Earth.
