Universe edge


Astronomers have opened one of the most remote massive structures of the Universe. This congestion containing hundreds, if not thousand galaxies gravitatsionno-connected with each other. Now we see this small bit of the Universe in that kind in which it existed 5 billion years ago.
On the x-ray image received by means of telescope XMM-Newton, it is well visible the hot gas scattered here and there. Galaxies are shown by bright red, green and dark blue specks.

The real group of galaxies is removed from us on distance of 9 billion light years while the age of the Universe is estimated in 13.7 billion years. Galaxies have reddish colour and belong to type of the elliptic. This testimony of that they very old. The congestion has the spherical form, that also proves strong gravitational stability.
