Galaxy clusters are collections of galaxies that are bound together by gravity. They are the largest structures that exist in our Universe, and their mass is dominated by the hot gas that lies between galaxies called the intracluster medium. One of the closest galaxy clusters is Fornax, and it was recently studied in detail using the MeerKAT radio telescope in South Africa. This bite dives deep into a study of the magnetic field of this cluster and the implications the results have of our understanding of clusters of galaxies.
