Perseus Cluster

The Perseus Cluster is a massive collection of thousands of galaxies bound together by gravity, located about 240 million light-years away. It is one of the brightest X-ray sources in the sky, emitting high-energy radiation due to hot gas filling the space between its galaxies. This gas reaches millions of degrees Celsius, indicating intense activity and interactions within the cluster. The Perseus Cluster is an important object for astronomers studying galaxy formation, dark matter, and the behavior of matter under extreme conditions in the universe.
