Introducing jellyfish galaxies — a unique type of galaxy swimming through a nearby galaxy cluster
Galaxy clusters like to relax, but it takes most of them a long time to get there. In today’s paper, the authors have found an exception to that rule!
Astrophysics is a lot like life in that sometimes the journey matters more than the destination. In today’s paper, which looks at the Hydrogen Lyman-α spectral line in a high-redshift protocluster, that’s absolutely the case!
JWST has found the oldest galaxy cluster ever, and studying it might give us some clues about the history of modern-day clusters.
Brand new data could force us to re-think how galaxies form and evolve in the early Universe — but there’s no need to panic!
