Most Massive Galaxy Cluster of Early Universe Discovered

The most massive conglomeration of galaxies ever spotted in the early universe has been found, astronomers say.
This is a retarded statement. Its like saying "the largest thing ever found has been...umm...found."

Agree, vevy clumsily formulated.


Btw, I'M SOOOOOOOOOA ANGRY - I WANT EXOPLANETZ!!! DAMN SCIENTISTS, why are you holding back on me???!??!?!
 
I think you read it wrong. It WEIGHS as much as 800 trillion Suns.

An infrared/optical representative-color image of a massive galaxy cluster located 7 billion light-years from Earth. This cluster weighs as much as 800 trillion suns. Galaxies with "old" stellar populations, like modern-day ellipticals, are circled in yellow; galaxies with "young" stellar populations, like modern-day spirals, are circled in blue. Images taken with the Infrared Array Camera on the Spitzer Space Telescope and the Mosaic-II camera on the Blanco 4-meter telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory.

if you click on "photo of new galaxy cluster" that's what it says.

But, if you're floating around in space, aren't you weightless?
:awe:
 
We all know they are talking about mass... or at least I hope we do. It's just mass and weight are very different.

Oh and mass does not have to have weight, as always it depends on reference frame. 😛
 
Fact: Even earth has not been placed on a Weigh Scale to determine if it has Weight!

Mass of Planets/Stars is just a Theory!!!!!
