ESA’s XMM-Newton X-ray observatory has spied hot gas sloshing around within a galaxy cluster – a never-before-seen behaviour that may be driven by turbulent merger events.

An interesting story from a telescope that's been up there since 1999.

That's something I never even knew existed, thanks for the link
That's impressive; 21 years and still making discoveries.
All the best,

Yes, discovered by using a new calibration technique applied to existing data.

You beat me to it! Not only that you beat the ESA too, I only received the email today! :smile:
