The bright white spot in the sky is located near a powerful cosmic magnifying glass.
that NGC 3923 is about 50% larger than the Milky Way, and its shells are the largest of all known shell galaxies.The shells aren’t the only feature of the 250-megapixel image.
Towards the top of the image is a large gravitational lens around the galaxy cluster PLCK G287.0+32.9. Gravitational lenses are massive objects or collections of objects in space with gravitational fields so strong that they bend light passing by them from more distant sources, allowing the light from those distant objects to be magnified.

A turtle time capsule: DNA found in ancient shellCurrently, only seven species of sea turtles exist. Among them are two in the genus Lepidochelys: the olive ridley and the Kemp's ridley. Despite being among the most common sea turtles in much of the Caribbean Sea and elsewhere, little is known about their history or evolution. The remains of a turtle shell recently found on Panama's Caribbean coast represent the oldest fossil evidence of these turtles ever found.

DECam captures the stunning layers of shell galaxy NGC 3923 and nearby gravitational lensingMuch like humans, galaxies are shaped by the environment in which they form. While no two are exactly alike, they can be divided into three main types: spiral, elliptical and irregular. Of these types, elliptical galaxies are the largest and are thought to evolve out of galactic collisions and mergers between spirals. About one-tenth of elliptical galaxies are classified as shell galaxies, characterized by the concentric shells that make up their galactic haloes.
