Like its mythological namesake, the Phoenix Cluster burns with blisteringly hot gas, which cools to birth stars. The James ...

The Phoenix Cluster's central galaxy is about 5.8 billion light-years away and should be mostly done with star formation. Many galaxy clusters have a region of hot gas in the intracluster medium (ICM) ...

The core of a massive cluster of galaxies appears to be pumping out far more stars than it should. Now researchers at MIT and ...

Researchers use the James Webb Space Telescope to unravel the mystery of rapid star formation in the Phoenix galaxy cluster, ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has recently made observations about galaxy clusters that will help shape our ...

New Webb Telescope data uncovers missing gas that enables star formation in the Phoenix cluster, solving a cosmic puzzle.

The core of the Phoenix cluster is shown across the whole electromagnetic spectrum. The bright purples represent X-rays produced by the hot gas, and the dashed purple outlines show regions where this ...

which sits at the heart of the Phoenix cluster, one of the heftiest clusters ever discovered. Located 5.8 billion light-years away, Phoenix A has an estimated mass of 100 billion suns. Another ...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has uncovered the missing link in star formation within the Phoenix galaxy cluster. By mapping intermediate-temperature gas, researchers identified a crucial ...

Most massive galaxies have black holes at their cores that emit energetic particles, heating the galaxy’s gas and dust.
