Chilean telescope exposes the largest group of galaxies


An international team of astronomers discovered the group of young galaxies in the Universe largest telescope thanks to VTL (Very Large Telescope, Very Large Telescope), the European Southern Observatory (ESO, for its acronym in English), located in the Chilean desert Atacama.

Technically, scientists called their discovery ACT-CL J0102-4915, but I know so familiar with the name El Gordo, Spanish for having discovered in Chile and in honor of his size. More than 7,000 million light years from Earth, this galaxy cluster is the largest ever seen in the distant universe? It was discovered early.
