Astronomers find strange stuff in the space between two clusters of galaxies
Web edition : Friday, July 27th, 2012
Abell 222 is a giant group of galaxies in deep space. So is Abell 223 ? one of Abell 222?s nearest neighbors. Each galaxy in each group is home to a massive number of stars, which means the clusters are brimming with light. But if you peer through a telescope at the space between the two galaxy clusters, you won?t see anything, just a dark patch of sky. The scenery would be the same if you could ride a spaceship from one group of galaxies to the other.?
The space between the two galaxy clusters is, however, anything but empty, according to a new study by astronomers.
