Chandra Digest (Apr 4): Coma Cluster
** Coma Cluster: Gas Clouds Strike A Delicate Balance
The Chandra image shows the central region - about 1.5 million light years across - of the Coma Cluster. The cluster contains thousands of galaxies enveloped by a vast 100 million-degree Celsius gas cloud. Of particular interest are the concentrations of cooler (10 to 20 million-degrees) gas around the large galaxies NGC 4889 and NGC 4874.
