About

    Galaxy clusters are large groupings of galaxies held together by gravity. They are some of the largest structures in the universe, containing hundreds to thousands of galaxies along with hot gas, dark matter, and other cosmic debris. Studying galaxy clusters can provide insight into the evolution of galaxies, the distribution of dark matter, and the nature of dark energy. Researchers use a combination of observations from telescopes and simulations to study the formation, dynamics, and properties of galaxy clusters.
