Bending the Bridge Between Two Galaxy Clusters

[Bill Dhivid]

Just got from weekly article NASA TV
Several hundred million years ago, two galaxy clusters collided and then passed through each other. This mighty event released a flood of hot gas from each galaxy cluster that formed an unusual bridge between the two objects. This bridge is now being pummeled by particles driven away from a supermassive black hole.

@Gia28 do you want to read the full article?

@Bill-Dhivid It’s hard to fathom how galaxies emerges and change. I can’t imagine a galaxy inside my head. So, I think I have to settle with pictures and some computer simulations. The bend is the effects of a jet shooting away from a supermassive black hole. I wonder what energy that actually powers the jet.

@Bill-Dhivid Mass is related to the rotational speed.. and all the matter in the universe is expected to interact gravitationally... I still have to understand how it really works

[Bill Dhivid]

@kaia_ masses exert gravitational forces. Two masses interact with that force, rotation comes afterwards. It's a very strong forces that helps balancing the planets and their movements. Not sure about other reasons if it might be there.

Check it if it works.

This is interesting.

what is a radio lobe?

@mikeJB said in Bending the Bridge Between Two Galaxy Clusters:

what is a radio lobe

Galaxies kind of hyperbole in the shape hence has two ends. They release energy from the two regions, these are radio energies.

[Bill Dhivid]

@kaia_ masses inside the galaxy and forces of interaction them.

@Bill-Dhivid sure, thanks. 😁

@Bill-Dhivid thanks 😊
