... 2000 March 6 . Abell 2142: Clash of the Galaxy Clusters . ... Explanation: Over the course of billions of years, whole clusters of galaxies merge. Above is an X-ray image of Abell 2142 , the result of the collision of two huge clusters of galaxies , and one of the most massive objects known in the universe. This false-color image shows a concentration of gas 50 million degrees hot near the center of the resulting cluster. ... About APOD | ...

... Credit Copyright: Michael J. West ( St. Mary's U. ), ESO 1-m Telescope Explanation: It was mealtime in galaxy cluster Abell 3827. The hungry cluster dominant galaxy in A 3827's center is seen being fed. Breakfast included five smaller galaxies unfortunate enough to wander too close to the cluster 's central supergiant galaxy. The remnants of these five galaxies can be seen in the center of this false-color picture. ... Publications with keywords: cluster of galaxies . ...

... January 21, 1997 . Journey to the Center of the Galaxy . ... What wonders lie at the center of our Galaxy ? Astronomers now know of some of the bizarre objects which exist there, like vast dust clouds , bright young stars , swirling rings of gas , and possibly even a large black hole . ... The center itself appears as a bright spot near the middle of the roughly 1x3 degree field of view, the plane of the Galaxy is vertical, and the north galactic pole is towards the right. ...

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. ... Far from being a voracious devourer of stars and of interstellar gas, "our own" black hole is rather benign. ... What holds galaxies together? ...

... A color image of the Andromeda galaxy always takes a little of my breath away: its golden yellow center, its bluish gossamer arms, its small, burr-like, fuzzy elliptical companion, M32. ... The beautiful images of Andromeda are a start; they give us a sense of what good form is for galaxies like our own. ... Meanwhile, radio astronomers have peered to the very center of the Galaxy and the hungry black hole there; the long radio wavelengths cut right through the dense underbrush of the Galactic...

Here you can see an image of the central part of the Fornax Cluster taken from the Digital Sky Survey. ... We studied the globular cluster systems (GCSs) of 5 early type galaxies in the Fornax cluster: NGC 1374, NGC1379, NGC 1387, NGC 1427, and the central giant elliptical NGC 1399. ...

At the center of the Phoenix Cluster, a large elliptical galaxy lurks where the hot gas is ejected, giving off unprecedented levels of X-rays, which have been observed by the orbiting Chandra X-ray telescope. ...

... According to the most popular cosmological paradigm, the greater part of the galaxy mass is accumulated in the dark matter halo. ... The polar ring galaxies (PRGs) reveal external rings or disks of gas, dust and stars rotating in a plane roughly perpendicular to the disk of the central galaxy. ... The shape of the dark halo in the model was chosen so as to achieve the best fit to the observed rotation of both galaxies themselves and their polar rings. ... The SPRC-7 galaxy. ...

However others are less pessimistic and it has even been claimed that the mysterious ?Wow! signal? received in 1977 originated from the direction M55.б  Sadly, this still unexplained pulse of radio energy originated from a location rather to the northwest of M55 so I doubt if the source was this cluster (if indeed the signal was genuinely of extraterrestrial origin). ...
