Something was pumping enormous energy into a young galaxy...

What’s Happening

Okay so Scientists have detected a surprisingly hot galaxy cluster dating back to the universe’s infancy.

The cluster formed far earlier and burned far hotter than current models predict. Researchers believe supermassive black holes may have rapidly heated the surrounding gas. (wild, right?)

The finding could force a major rethink of how galaxy clusters grow.
