This massive galaxy cluster contains 400 trillion times the mass of the Sun and is located 9.6 billion light years away from Earth.
[2] The follow-up research on this cluster using dedicated X-ray imaging from the Chandra observatory was discussed at the Italian village sharing its namesake, Villi il Gioiello.
Some of these facts unique to Gioiello include that it emits purple light and is incredibly massive, containing 400 trillion times more mass than the Sun.
It is essential to observe these galaxy clusters with high redshift in order to understand how they have evolved over time.
A distance estimate scale provided by NASA shows how difficult it is to find clusters as massive and as distant as Gioiello and El Gordo.
However, some of these distant objects appeared to be proto-clusters, which are better defined as precursors to fully developed galaxy clusters.
[6] These astronomers and researchers detected hints of uneven structure in the hot gas, which would appear as large clumps.
