The microwave background marks the limit of the observable universe, nearly 14 billion light - years away, and Rudnick believes that the void, which is 6 billion to 10 billion light - years away, imprinted its form on the microwave background by the simple virtue of being empty: Under the influence of dark energy and gravity, space containing clusters of galaxies compresses microwaves to a shorter, warmer part of the spectrum, while space that is empty on this scale stretches and cools microwaves.

The tendency of very massive galaxies to contain a high fraction of low - mass stars at their centers is a recent discovery, and is still in some ways controversial, but is reinforced by the work reported here.

This statement is certainly true if we assume that the only gravitational force present is that exerted by visible matter, but it is true even if we assume that every galaxy in the cluster, like the Milky Way, is surrounded by a halo of dark matter that contains 90 percent of the mass of the galaxy.»

The Milky Way (like other spiral galaxies) is surrounded by a large halo region which contains globular clusters, large clouds of hydrogen gas, and a huge mass of the mysterious dark matter.

Galaxies are large systems of stars and interstellar matter, typically containing several million to some trillion stars, of masses between several million and several trillion times that of our Sun, of an extension of a few thousands to several 100,000 s light years, typically separated by millions of light years distance.

Most galaxies in the observable universe contain a supermassive black hole at their center, one that is either active and surrounded by an accretion disk of dust, gas and other debris, or is dormant — lurking at the center, patiently awaiting its next meal.

The amount of oxygen in a galaxy is determined primarily by three factors: how much oxygen comes from large stars that end their lives violently in supernova explosions — a ubiquitous phenomenon in the early Universe, when the rate of stellar births was dramatically higher than the rate in the Universe today; how much of that oxygen gets ejected from the galaxy by so - called «super winds,» which propel oxygen and other interstellar gases out of galaxies at hundreds of thousands of miles per hour; and how much pristine gas enters the galaxy from the intergalactic medium, which doesn't contain much oxygen.
