These clusters are probably young versions of globular clusters, but they are commonly called super star clusters. Seven dwarf galaxies within 16 million light-years have formed super star clusters, with one of these galaxies, NGC 1569, possessing two young clusters. ...

It's a common misconception that black holes always have matter swirling into them. ... As this matter gets closer and closer to the black hole it piles up and a large, fairly flat disk forms. This is called the accretion disk , because matter from this disk accretes (that is, falls in) on the black hole. ... 2008 Phil Plait. ...

. During 10 years, five high-energy cosmic rays (plotted as orange asterisks) came from one small part of the sky near the star Merak in the Big Dipper. Astrophysicists suspect their source is a merging pair of galaxy clusters (blue). Progressively more distant galaxy clusters appear in light blue, green, and red, while the gray shading shows the positional error for each of the five cosmic-ray detections. G. R. Farrar, A. A. Berlind, D. W. Hogg (New York University)

... The search for distant objects which can be both galaxies and quasars is one of the most important problems of observational astrphysics, because it allows one to determine cosmological parameters connected with the time of appearence and evolution of stellar systems, large scale structure of the Universe. ... Radio galaxies are important objects to be studied because they are sources of infrared-optical-ultraviolet continuum, emission lines and continual radio emission. ...

... STScI-PRC99-28 GALAXY COLLISIONS IN DISTANT CLUSTER The group of galaxies -- or "galaxy cluster" -- catalogued as MS1054-03 is 8 billion light-years away, one of the most distant known so far. Although hundreds of galaxies appear in the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image, a European-led team of astronomers has studied in detail 81 galaxies that certainly belong to the cluster, 13 of which are remnants of recent collisions or pairs of colliding galaxies. ...
