Deep space has just delivered a cosmic curveball: an object that behaves so strangely it appears to break the rules ...

A small group of young researchers at the Cosmic Dawn Center, Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, have, through ...

Most astronomers agree that young galaxy clusters should be relatively cool compared to older ones. But researchers recently ...

For years, scientists have worked to chart the universe’s massive structure, aiming to test key models of cosmology. These efforts also help uncover how galaxies form and change over time. While most ...

Astronomers found a young galaxy cluster with unexpectedly hot gas, suggesting cosmic structures formed faster than once ...

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 ...

Galaxy clusters are formed by a dense packing of many galaxies, making them the most massive structures in the universe.

The XRISM science team, including members of Nagoya University, has explained how galaxy clusters maintain their heat despite emitting X-rays, which typically have a cooling effect on the hot gas. By ...
