It may be a former galaxy American scientists have discovered a giant gas cloud larger than our home galaxy, the Milky Way. more than our galaxy in space “alt =” An object found in space larger than our galaxy “An object found in space larger than our galaxy />
Scientists discovered the object using the X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission X-ray satellite (XMM-Newton) of the European Space Agency and other space observatories.
The cloud, as understood by astrophysicists, consists of hot gas. Its temperature ranges from 10 thousand to 10 million Kelvin. The mass of the gas is 10 billion solar. In general, the cloud can be compared to a small galaxy in terms of mass. But in size it is clearly larger than the Milky Way.
Scientists have suggested that this object is the remnant of a large unknown galaxy. It is located in the Leo cluster – Abell 1367. There are 72 large galaxies, and they could be the “sisters” of the cloud.
