Astronomers spot two merging galaxy clusters bridged by X-rays
... joules) that is fed into a number of processes, such as heating, turbulence and boosting the intergalactic magnetic field. Cosmological simulations also predict that as the gas between the two clusters collides, the gas at the front...
