NASA scientists may have just solved the galactic mystery of how a huge wave of gas formed in a cluster of galaxies more than 200,000 light-years away. 。
The answer has to do with a cosmic near collision that occurred billions of years ago. 。

"The wave we've identified is associated with the flyby of a smaller cluster, which shows that the merger activity that produced these giant structures is still ongoing," NASA's Stephen Walker said.。


The findings are detailed in a new study published in the journal。 The findings are detailed in a new study published in the journal 。

The researchers put together the simulations to try to explain how the wave of gas formed. One of those simulations showed a galaxy cluster brushing by the Perseus cluster and displacing some of its gas.。
"The flyby creates a gravitational disturbance that churns up the gas like cream stirred into coffee, creating an expanding spiral of cold gas," NASA said in the statement. 。
"After about 2.5 billion years, when the gas has risen nearly 500,000 light-years from the center, vast waves form and roll at its periphery for hundreds of millions of years before dissipating." 。
If all of this is a little difficult for you to visualize, just think of the wave as something like a giant Kelvin-Helmholtz cloud formation on Earth, which look like cartoon-versions of ocean waves in the sky. 。Via Giphy 。
