Explore an amazing cluster of galaxies lurking in the Milky Way Galaxy
The finding could help reveal how super-large black holes can exist, how it affects the evolution of galaxy clusters, the researchers said.
For the first time, astronomers discovered a strange cluster of galaxies lurking in the Milky Way galaxy. Many galaxies in the center of this cluster of galaxies are extremely bright, about 46 billion times brighter than the Sun's brightness.

The new cluster of galaxies lurking in there is the scientific name PKS1353-34, which gathers hundreds to thousands of galaxies linked together by gravity.
Previously, this giant galaxy cluster was discovered but it was mistaken for a single X-ray spot, not knowing it was a real cluster of galaxies.
PKS1353-34 galaxy cluster is about 2.4 billion light-years away from Earth around a quasar cluster named PKS1353-341 . They estimate that it has a mass of 690 thousand times the mass of the Sun.
