. While looking at the galaxy cluster Abell 2667, astronomers found an odd-looking spiral galaxy (shown here in the upper left hand corner of the image) that ploughs through the cluster after being accelerated to at least 3.5 million km/h by the enormous combined gravity of the clusterтАЩs dark matter, hot gas and hundreds of galaxies.

This diagram shows how the 'vertical-align' properties on cells combine to determine the height of the row containing the cells. The diagram also illustrates the meaning of some values of 'vertical-align' that apply to table cells: baseline, top, bottom, and middle. The diagram shows a row of five (labeled) table cells of varying heights and alignments. ... The first cell is aligned with the row baseline and extends to just below the row top. ...
