We propose to obtain high resolution, UV/optical imaging of the "accretion populations" in the massive cooling flow of the Perseus cluster of galaxies. New GALEX observations show that the dominant galaxy in this nearby cluster, NGC 1275, has an extended network of UV-bright populations apparently formed recently from the intracluster gas. Cluster cooling flows are the most prominent of the environments where we can readily observe the cycle of gas accretion, star formation, and feedback from active nuclei that is thought to play a central role in the formation and evolution of galaxies. Because they can be readily age-dated, the accretion populations help to trace the sequence of exchange of material between galaxies and the intracluster medium. The ACS/SBC and WFPC2/PC cameras offer the highest spatial resolution and best panchromatic performance available to map the spatial and age distribution of the accretion populations and their relationship to radio-emitting plasma and the hot intracluster gas.;
