... It is one of the most striking examples of gravitational lensing, where the gravitational field of a foreground galaxy bends and amplifies the light of a more distant background galaxy. In this image, the light from a distant galaxy, nearly 10 billion light-years away, has been warped into a nearly 90ТА arc of light in the galaxy cluster RCS2 032727-132623. The galaxy cluster lies 5 billion light-years away. ...

... Our Sun is part of a huge wheel-shaped collection of stars. ... Astronomers have long suspected it was a very massive black hole, and that every galaxy had such a central mass, created early in the history of the universe. ... However, unless that object happens to be headed directly at the black hole (a relatively small target) it will just swing around and fly away again, like a comet making a pass at the Sun. The velocity acquired in falling towards the black hole also helps it escape. ...

... Confirmation that a mysterious cloud of hydrogen in the Virgo Cluster is a dark galaxy has been published by a team of astronomers .
