Galaxies create ultra hot shockwaves of 100 MILLION degrees when they collide

Daily Mail  

Galaxies create 100-million degree shock-waves when they collide, according to research after a team examined a pair of galaxy clusters as they are about to touch. Galaxy clusters are large groups of hundreds of galaxies, each containing hundreds of billions of stars bound together by gravity. Galaxy clusters are the largest known objects and consist of hundreds of galaxies, which each contain hundreds of billions of stars, surrounded by a ring of hot gas. Galaxy clusters are large groups of hundreds of galaxies, each containing hundreds of billions of stars The team, from International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research, are hoping to build a continuous model of how these clusters merge.

A remarkable cosmic event has been observed in Stephan's Quintet, where a galaxy traveling at an astonishing speed of 3.2 million kilometers per hour collided with its celestial neighbours. This dramatic impact, captured in unprecedented detail by the William Herschel Telescope Enhanced Area Velocity Explorer in La Palma, Spain, has provided new insights into the violent interactions between galaxies. Stephan's …

An international team of scientists has discovered a vast wave of hot gas in the nearby Perseus galaxy cluster. The wave formed billions of years ago, after a small galaxy cluster grazed Perseus and caused its vast supply of gas to slosh around an enormous volume of space, the researchers said. “Perseus is one of the most massive nearby clusters …
