Summary

Description
English: A close-up on two galactic members of the Virgo Cluster as imaged by NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory. During its observations Rubin captured a plethora of asteroids zipping across this portion of the night sky. The tiny streaks left behind from the asteroids have been removed from this image. View the image with the asteroids included here. And view the Image Comparison for easier 'blinking' between the images.
