... Millions and billions of stars were bound by gravity into groups that we call galaxies. And gravity even confines galaxies together in packs that we call galaxy clusters . ... It shows the Spiderweb Galaxy forming at the centre of a galaxy cluster. ... Like a construction site on Earth, galaxy clusters are dusty while they are forming. ... Using one of these special telescopes astronomers have managed to look at stars being born inside the Spiderweb galaxy cluster for the first time. ...

... Our Sun is part of a huge wheel-shaped collection of stars. ... Astronomers have long suspected it was a very massive black hole, and that every galaxy had such a central mass, created early in the history of the universe. ... However, unless that object happens to be headed directly at the black hole (a relatively small target) it will just swing around and fly away again, like a comet making a pass at the Sun. The velocity acquired in falling towards the black hole also helps it escape. ...
