NASA Spots The Most Massive Object From The Universe Forming

Some scientists believe that supermassive black holes are the most massive objects from the Universe, but nature is full of surprises. And after all, the Universe hasn’t done anything but providing us surprises since we first started to explore it.

NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory space probe has recently made a discovery that can provide to the world new insights for galaxy clusters. It detected the merger of four galaxy clusters, which are expected to combine weights several hundred trillion times more than our Sun.

The clusters are three billion light-years away from Earth

If you want to move to one of the planets from the clusters, all you have to do is to travel about three billion light-years. Of course, you’ll have to find a way to far exceed the speed of light since it’s very likely that a human life won’t be enough for such a journey.

Each cluster has hundreds or thousands of galaxies, and they are suspended in a cloud of hot gas.

Abell 1758 is the name of the slowly-emerging structure

Scientists from NASA are estimating that the individual bodies from the clusters are moving at speeds of two to three million miles per hour. But even so, it will take a pretty big amount of time for the collision to be completed. The astronomers are even gathering data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes to put together a detailed map of the galaxy clusters collision.

NASA said through spokesmen:

Eventually, all four clusters – each with a mass of at least several hundred trillion times that of the Sun – will merge to form one of the most massive objects in the universe.

Scientists first recognised Abell 1758 as a quadruple galaxy cluster system in 2004 using data from Chandra and XMM-Newton, a satellite operated by the European Space Agency (ESA).

Galaxies colliding is not a rare phenomenon of our Cosmos. Even our Milky Way galaxy will collide with its neighbor Andromeda after four billion years. If by any chance humans will find the recipe of eternal life until then, we still don’t have what to worry about since collisions between galaxies are only providing a new shape, without colossal damage as we might have been imagined.
