More About galaxy cluster
Galaxy clusters are huge. They can have many galaxies in one spot. Some clusters are close to us, and some are far away. They help us see how stars live and grow.
Galaxy clusters are not just stars. They have gas and dust too. This gas can be very hot. It helps stars to form and shine bright.
In the future, we will learn more. We might find new clusters. Each one can tell us a new story about space.
