Light always leaves from a young, star forming blue galaxy near the edge of the visible universe.

Some of the light passes through a large cluster of galaxies and surrounding dark matter, directly in the line of sight between earth and the distant galaxy. The dark matter’s gravity acts like a lens, bending the incoming light.
