When studying local galaxy cluster Abell 3667, Anthony Englert GS, a Ph.D. candidate in physics, noticed something unique. Connecting the brightest galaxies in two small clusters within Abell 3667 was ...

An international team of astronomers led by the University of Vienna has deciphered the formation history of young star clusters, some of which we can see with the naked eye at night. The team, led by ...

Astronomers have deciphered the formation history of young star clusters, some of which we can see with the naked eye at night. The team reports that most nearby young star clusters belong to only ...

NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has discovered a surprisingly mature galaxy protocluster from the infancy of the universe.

A surprising pattern of spatial distribution was discovered in dwarf galaxies, whereby diffuse ones cluster more strongly than do compact ones — opposite to the trend seen in massive galaxies. This ...

A galaxy cluster is a set of the most extensive cosmic gravitational systems, consisting of three hundred to a thousand galaxies, an enormous volume of highly heated gas, and a large quantity of dark ...
