The "El Gordo" Galaxy Cluster Truly is "The Fat One"
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has weighed the largest known galaxy cluster in the distant universe and found that it definitely lives up to its nickname -- El Gordo (Spanish for "The Fat One"). By measuring how much the cluster's gravity warps images of galaxies in the distant background, a team of astronomers has calculated the cluster's mass to be as much as 3 Million Billion times the mass of our sun.
