Chandra X-ray Observatory | Quick Look: Chandra Finds Galaxy Cluster That Crosses the Streams @ChandraXray | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 4 days ago.
A galaxy cluster has two streams of superheated gas crossing each other.
Unlike in the movies, crossing the streams in this cluster does not end in disaster.
These streams come from galaxies hurtling through the cluster at high speeds.
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory captured this chaotic scene in X-ray light.
