A “Fat” Cluster of Galaxies
This new space photo above shows El Gordo. A galaxy cluster like this, with El Gordo's huge size and found so far away in the Universe, is a very rare space object. "This cluster is the most massive, the hottest, and gives off the most X-rays of any cluster found so far at this distance or beyond," says astronomer Felipe Menanteau.
