Witnessing the Birth of a Distant Cluster of Galaxies | ESO

Witnessing the Birth of a Distant Cluster of Galaxies | ESO

ESOcast Light 259: Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), astronomers have detected a large reservoir of hot gas in the still-forming galaxy cluster around the Spiderweb galaxy—the most distant detection of such hot gas yet. This further reveals just how early these structures begin to form.
