Astronomers using a telescope installed in Chile received a picture of hundreds of galaxies, which are located near the Milky Way. According to Live Science, the researchers directed the Dark Energy Camera (Decam) camera of the 4-meter telescope Victor M. Blanco on the accumulation of the pump to help unravel one of the largest mysteries of astronomy - the nature of dark matter.

In the image, you can also see two massive Linzoid galaxies NGC 3268 (in the center) and NGC 3258 (below on the right), both of which differ in a jumper in the center, like that of the Milky Way, at the same time, they do not have spiral sleeves. One of the studies suggests that these galaxies are in the merger, which may indicate that the pumping of the pump is or was two accumulations.

Astronomers note the variety of galaxies that are included in it. With the help of modern technologies, they distinguished not only lens -shaped, but also incorrect, dwarf, compact elliptical galaxies and blue compact dwarfs. Scientists believe that other types of galaxies may be hidden in the cluster, many of them are supposed to be rich in dark matter.

It is believed that this mysterious substance accounts for 25% of the universe. Dark matter can consist of invisible particles that do not absorb, do not reflect or emit light or energy, and, as a result, it cannot be detected by telescopes and cameras. But its gravitational impact on visible matter can be seen almost everywhere, especially in such clusters as a pump.

Previously, scientists said that the nuclei of the galaxies may not be what they were considered before. According to researchers, they may have giant "
