Quick Look: Chandra Helps Astronomers Discover a Surprisingly Lonely Galaxy
Description:
The galaxy called 3C297, over 9 billion light-years away, is surprisingly lonely. 3C297 may have pulled and assimilated all of its galactic companions. Data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory were used for this discovery. This result may push the limits for how galaxies grew in the early Universe. More at: https://chandra.si.edu/photo/2023/3c297/
