Quick Look: NASA's Chandra Finds Galaxy Cluster Collision on a "WHIM"

Quick Look: NASA's Chandra Finds Galaxy Cluster Collision on a "WHIM"

NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory is helping to reconcile the Universe’s inventory of matter.

A new result shows evidence of "missing" mass made up of regular atoms. Researchers think this matter may be found in gigantic strands of superheated gas.

These strands are very difficult to find and require X-ray telescopes like Chandra.
