Image shows a section of the immense Perseus galaxy cluster, revealing several giant elliptical galaxies, a dusty spiral whose arms are fading, and several edge-on galaxies, some of which appear to be experiencing interactions or mergers with their neighbors.

NGC 1275 lies at the very center of mass of the Perseus Cluster , with 13 billion solar masses of hydrogen gas falling onto it from the cluster environment at large.

Surrounding it is a faint halo of diffuse light produced by stars, torn from galaxies falling into the cluster by the gravitational tides.

Keith Cooper: Galaxy clusters and superclusters form at the nodes of the great cosmic web of matter that spans the universe.

This cosmic web was produced in the aftermath of the Big Bang , when ripples in the sea of plasma filled the universe until 379,000 years ago froze in place.

Cooper: We can infer its presence by looking for where dark matter's gravity has created gravitational lenses.
