The largest contiguous feature in the local volume and comparable to the Sloan Great Wall (see above) at half the distance. It is located at the celestial South Pole. King Ghidorah Supercluster (2022) 1,300,000,000 [19] Consists of at least 15 clusters plus other interconnected filaments. It is the most massive galaxy supercluster discovered so ...
They form the densest part of the large-scale structure of the Universe. In models for the gravitational formation of structure with cold dark matter, the smallest structures collapse first and eventually build the largest structures, clusters of galaxies. Clusters are then formed relatively recently between 10 billion years ago and now.
It has the largest system of gravitational arcs ever found. [5] Abell 1689 shows over 160,000 globular clusters, the largest population ever found. [6] There is evidence of merging and gases in excess of 100 million degrees. [5] The very large mass of this cluster makes it useful for the study of dark matter and gravitational lensing. [7] [8]
Named for its size, El Gordo ("the fat one") is the biggest cluster found in the distant universe (at its distance and beyond), at the time of discovery in 2011, with a mass of 3 quadrillion suns. The second most massive galaxy cluster next to El Gordo is RCS2 J2327, a galaxy cluster with the mass of 2 quadrillion suns.
Composite image of five galaxies clustered together just 600 million years after the Universe's birth [1]. A galaxy cluster, or a cluster of galaxies, is a structure that consists of anywhere from hundreds to thousands of galaxies that are bound together by gravity, [1] with typical masses ranging from 10 14 to 10 15 solar masses.
The European Space Agency’s Euclid telescope aims to create the largest 3D map of the universe in the next six years. ... reveals the galaxies within the cluster Abell 3381, located 470 million ...
After performing a number of statistical analyses on the quasar data, and finding extreme changes in the Huge-LQG membership and shape with small changes in the cluster finding parameters, he determined the probability that apparent clusters the size of the Huge-LQG would appear in a random assortment of quasars, by utilizing the similar ...
The newly-discovered binary star system, which is home to two stars gravitationally bound to one another, was found in a dense stellar cluster orbiting Sagittarius A*, which has an estimated mass ...
