We show the reconstructed mass distribution of the cluster CL0939+4713 (zd = 0.4) using data obtained with the WFPC2 instrument on HST. We find a remarkable correlation with the light distribution of the bright galaxies, which are probably cluster member galaxies. A bootstrapping analysis confirms this correlation, whereas an anti-correlation between the mass distribution and the faint galaxies - used for the mass reconstruction - is found. We give lower bounds on the mass inside the data field, and confirm that this cluster is indeed quite massive.
