Scientists detected gas at least five times hotter than previous theories had predicted inside a galaxy cluster from the ...

Globular clusters maintain their structural integrity primarily due to the angular momentum of their constituent stars, preventing gravitational collapse towards the cluster's center of mass. While ...

NASA’s flagship X-ray observatory is starting the calendar with a flourish, unveiling a richly detailed view of a distant ...

New research demonstrated a possible formation mechanism of intermediate-mass black holes in globular clusters, star clusters that could contain tens of thousands or even millions of tightly packed ...

A galaxy cluster discovered on New Year’s Eve in 2020 shines in a new image from NASA’s Chandra X-Ray Observatory ...

Supermassive black holes appear to reside at the center of every galaxy and to have done so since galaxies formed early in the history of the Universe. Currently, however, we can’t entirely explain ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope recently zeroed in on the Bullet Cluster—delivering highly detailed images that show a greater abundance of extremely faint and distant galaxies than ever before.

Astronomers have explained how a galaxy cluster maintains its heat, despite emitting X-rays that cool the hot gas at its center. The group discovered the existence of a fast-moving, high-temperature ...
