MACS J0152.5-2852 is a massive galaxy cluster. Almost every pixel seen in the image is a galaxy, each containing billions of stars. [1]Galaxy groups and clusters are the largest known gravitationally bound objects to have arisen thus far in the process of cosmic structure formation. [2]
Four of the seven members of galaxy group HCG 16 [1]. A galaxy group [2] or group of galaxies [3] (GrG [4]) is an aggregation of galaxies comprising about 50 or fewer gravitationally bound members, each at least as luminous as the Milky Way (about 10 10 times the luminosity of the Sun); collections of galaxies larger than groups that are first-order clustering are called galaxy clusters. [5]
A microbial colony is defined as a visible cluster of microorganisms growing on the surface of or within a solid medium, presumably cultured from a single cell. [11] Because the colony is clonal , with all organisms in it descending from a single ancestor (assuming no contamination ), they are genetically identical, except for any mutations ...
Composite image of five galaxies clustered together just 600 million years after the Universe's birth [1]. A galaxy cluster, or a cluster of galaxies, is a structure that consists of anywhere from hundreds to thousands of galaxies that are bound together by gravity, [1] with typical masses ranging from 10 14 to 10 15 solar masses.
In physics, the term clusters denotes small, polyatomic particles. As a rule of thumb, any particle made of between 3×10 0 and 3×10 7 atoms is considered a cluster.. The term can also refer to the organization of protons and neutrons within an atomic nucleus, e.g. the alpha particle (also known as "α-cluster" [1]), consisting of two protons and two neutrons (as in a helium nucleus).
Star clusters are large groups of stars held together by self-gravitation. Two main types of star clusters can be distinguished. Two main types of star clusters can be distinguished. Globular clusters are tight groups of ten thousand to millions of old stars which are gravitationally bound.
A stellar association is a very loose star cluster, looser than both open clusters and globular clusters. Stellar associations will normally contain from 10 to 100 or more visible stars. An association is primarily identified by commonalities in its member stars' movement vectors, ages, and chemical compositions.
Morphology of a male skeleton shrimp, Caprella mutica Morphology in biology is the study of the form and structure of organisms and their specific structural features. [1]This includes aspects of the outward appearance (shape, structure, color, pattern, size), i.e. external morphology (or eidonomy), as well as the form and structure of internal parts like bones and organs, i.e. internal ...
