A new Fornax galaxy cluster video and image, which were unveiled today (April 13), were captured by astronomers with the European Southern Observatory using the Very Large Telescope.
A new image captures a spectacular concentration of galaxies known as the Fornax Cluster, which can be found in the southern hemisphere constellation of Fornax (The Furnace). The cluster plays ...
The Fornax Cluster is a, well, cluster of galaxies that sit some 65 million light-years from Earth and has been a huge source of galaxy discoveries in the past.
The galaxy, dubbed FCC 224, lies at the edge of the Fornax Cluster, about 65 million light-years from Earth, and exhibits the mysterious absence of dark matter—a substance long believed to be ...
Located some 65 million light years away in the Fornax galaxy cluster, FCC 224 is a quiescent ultra-diffuse galaxy about 10 billion years old.
The latest member of this puzzling collection, known as FCC 224, resides on the fringes of the Fornax Cluster, a collection of galaxies that lies roughly 65 million light-years from Earth.
According to the standard model of cosmology, the vast majority of galaxies are surrounded by a halo of dark matter particles. This halo is invisible, but its mass exerts a strong gravitational pull ...
The Fornax Cluster has a rich population of dwarf galaxies. Recent observations show that some of these dwarfs appear distorted, as if they have been perturbed by the cluster environment.
The researchers focused on two regions of the vast sky: A section of the Ursa Minor constellation and another region near the Fornax cluster.
A nearby galaxy cluster called the Fornax Cluster is ripping apart its dwarf galaxies. They appear to be tearing up far more easily than we would expect, suggesting that they may not contain any ...
