"Pandora's Cluster: New Discoveries Unveiled by Researchers"

Italian astronomers used the Magellan Telescopes to observe the giant galaxy cluster Abell 2744, also known as Pandora's Cluster, and presented their findings in a paper. The cluster, estimated to be 4 trillion times more massive than the sun, is the result of a complex merger of at least four smaller galaxy clusters. The new observations revealed the cluster's projected total mass and uncovered the presence of three high-density peaks, confirming that it is undergoing a complex merger. This study provides valuable insights into galaxy evolution and cosmology.
