Galaxies and clusters are the ensembles of stars and other astronomical objects bound together by gravitational forces. Galaxies are ordered into galaxy groups, which are in turn organised into ...

The giant structure, christened "Quipu", is made up of 68 galaxy clusters that are strung together and held together by dark matter. The superstructure is 1.4 billion light years long and ...

Astronomers have made an exciting discovery about how young stars form in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a small galaxy near the ... found a newborn super star cluster, providing a rare glimpse ...

Quipu is estimated to span an astonishing 1.4 billion light-years in width and contains approximately 68 galaxy clusters. "If you look at the distribution of the galaxy clusters in the sky within a ...

Views of a massive galaxy cluster Abell 2256 have been captured by NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, ESA’s XMM-Newton and three radio telescopes (LOFAR, the GMRT and the VLA). See a composite ...

The Phoenix Cluster is one of the most massive galaxy clusters known. Astronomers have identified 42 member galaxies so far, yet there could be as many as 1,000 in the cluster. Because of its size and ...

"The Phoenix cluster has the largest reservoir of hot, cooling gas of any galaxy cluster." How do you cool down a phoenix? I don't mean the mythological birds of flame and rebirth, but rather a ...

Researchers have solved the mystery of a galaxy cluster's rapid star formation. Using the James Webb Space Telescope, they studied the Phoenix cluster. This cluster, 5.8 billion light-years from ...

Hubble’s work opened the door to the study of the universe beyond our galaxy. In the century since ... He cataloged a thousand new nebulae and clusters of stars. He believed that the nebulae ...

Webb identifies missing gas that enables star formation in the cluster Mid-infrared data maps gas cooling at intermediate temperatures Findings reshape understanding of galaxy cluster evolution ...

The cluster, which is more officially known as Abell 2744, is a region of space that is comprised of three galaxy clusters. NASA says that the combined mass of the clusters lends itself to ...
