The Coma Berenices cluster of galaxies contains more than 1000 galaxies, with a large number of E (elliptical) and S0 (lenticular) types. The color image was created from three separate exposures taken in blue, red and almost-infrared light, using the Kitt Peak National Observatory's 0.9-meter telescope.
