Enormous Galaxy Clusters Found to be 1.3 Billion Light-Years Wide, Deemed to be The Largest Known Structure In a monumental ...
Researchers have captured an extremely rare image of a cosmic filament connecting two galaxies when the universe was just two ...
Using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), astronomers have observed a supermassive galactic open cluster designated Westerlund ...
It is Invisible to the naked eye but prominent in galaxy cluster sky maps. The discovery of Quipu was made possible through the Cosmic Large-Scale Structure in X-rays (CLASSIX) Cluster Survey.
New data reveals a 3-million-light-year filament connecting two galaxies, each of which hosts a supermassive black hole.
Most massive galaxies have black holes at their cores that emit energetic particles, heating the galaxy’s gas and dust.
This Hubble image captures the ghostly shells of galaxy ESO 381-12 against distant galaxies. Its uneven shape and star clusters suggest a past cosmic collision. This glowing image, resembling an ...
