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. Researchers ...
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. In this case, ...
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 ...
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 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.
A new study led by the University of Bonn and the University of Saint Andrews (Scotland) challenges this view of the Universe. The results suggest that the dwarf galaxies of Earth’s second closest ...
The Fornax Cluster is the second closest galaxy cluster to our own. It is located 62 million light-years away and it has an estimated mass of 70 trillion suns.
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.
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 ...
NGC 1316 is a giant "dusty" galaxy (PR Photo 18a/00), located in the Fornax cluster seen in the southern constellation of that name ("The Oven").
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.
