Scientists confirm that plasma ‘sloshes’ around in galaxy clusters

[ad_1] The researchers observed two nearby galaxy clusters, Perseus and Coma, and mapped the movement of their plasma. In Perseus, they believe the movement is caused by smaller sub-clusters of galaxies colliding with larger clusters. That produces enough energy to disrupt Perseus’ gravitational field and creates a sloshing motion that researchers predict will last for […]
