Discovered 'carnivorous galaxies' in the star cluster of Heavenly Star
Between the Celestial clusters, there are three bright spots, the middle spot is the cD galaxy - also known as the carnivorous galaxy because it grows by using gravity to swallow smaller galaxies.

According to CNN, the image was released April 13, captured by the VLT Survey telescope at the Southern European Observatory (ESO) in Chile. The galaxy cluster (star cluster) contains 100 - 1,000 galaxies, separated by 5 - 30 million light-years. Galaxies tend to focus into large groups because of the gravitational link.
A group of astronomers in Italy used ESO data to find a dimly lit bridge linking two galaxies located in the Heavenly Cluster , NGC 1399 and a smaller galaxy called NGC 1387 . This bright bridge has never been discovered before, suggesting that stars from smaller galaxies are attracted to the larger galaxy, meaning NGC 1399 is eating NGC 1387.
Astronomers believe that this carnivorous galaxy phenomenon is happening daily before our eyes , but humans cannot be observed with the naked eye, but must rely on a high-energy telescope.
In the universe there are many clusters of massive galaxies, unknown boundaries. However, astronomers estimate that the center of the Heavenly Cluster is about 65 million light-years from Earth.
