Indian Scientists Discover A Supercluster Of Galaxies, Name It ‘Saraswati’
Saraswati, supercluster of galaxies
A team of Indian scientists has discovered a previously unknown supercluster of galaxies, some four billion light years away from Earth, and named it Saraswati.
A supercluster is a chain of galaxies and galaxy clusters which are bound by gravity. According to reports, this supercluster is supposed to have originated around 10 billion years ago and contains over 10,000 galaxies in 42 clusters.
This is one of the largest known structures in the neighbourhood of the universe, said IUCAA, which was also involved in the discovery of gravitational waves.
This discovery will be published in the latest issue of The Astrophysical Journal, the premier research journal of the American Astronomical Society.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
