'How Can All of This Be Happening?': Scientists Spot Massive Group of Ancient Galaxies so Hot They Shouldn't Exist

‘Impossible’ cluster found in deep space could change what we know about early universe

As we try to peer into the deepest depths of space, we find more and more strange things – and now it appears that researchers have discovered something a little bit impossible. An international team found a galaxy cluster that’s far hotter and older than current theories allow. Essentially, this means that under our current best understanding of cosmology, the cluster is impossible. (Picture: Lingxiao Yuan) This could completely change ho…

Why the discovery of hot gas in young galaxy clusters is exciting Canadian researchers

A team of international researchers, led by a University of British Columbia astrophysicist, has discovered a young galaxy cluster that was producing hot gas at a rate five times hotter than previously theoretically thought possible.

'How can all of this be happening?': Scientists spot massive group of ancient galaxies so hot they shouldn't exist

An inexplicably hot, fast-growing cluster of galaxies in the early universe has scientists questioning theories of galactic evolution.

Astronomers find an ultra-hot galaxy cluster from the universe’s infancy

Astronomers have discovered something that challenges long-standing ideas about how the universe evolved: a galaxy cluster filled with extremely hot gas that formed far earlier than scientists thought possible. The finding suggests that the universe was building massive structures faster — and more violently — than current theories predict. The discovery, reported in Nature, comes […] The post Astronomers find an ultra-hot galaxy cluster from th…

Astronomers Spot A Giant Cosmic Furnace So Hot It Defies Every Model We Have

A team of astronomers have uncovered an unusually hot 12 billion year-old gas cluster that challenges everything we thought we knew about the early growth of the universe. Peering back to about 1.4 billion years after the Big Bang, an international group of researchers has identified a baby galaxy cluster, cataloged as SPT2349-56, that's

An ancient galaxy cluster is far hotter than it should be

The scorching cloud of gas threaded between clusters of galaxies is 5X hotter than current models predict. Continue reading An ancient galaxy cluster is far hotter than it should be on Tech Explorist.
