Astronomers Find Enormous Wave of Hot Gas Rolling through Nearby Galaxy Cluster
May 2, 2017 by News Staff / Source


A wave spanning 200,000 light-years (about twice the size of our Milky Way Galaxy) is rolling through the Perseus Cluster, according to observations from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory coupled with radio observations and computer simulations.


Galaxy clusters are the largest structures bound by gravity in the Universe today.

Approximately 11 million light-years across and located 240 million light-years away, the Perseus Cluster (Abell 426) is named for its host constellation.

Unfortunate proof that politicians represent a universal threat.

I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.
