This void is estimated to have a diameter of 1 billion light years.

The immense halo of gas enveloping the Andromeda galaxy, our nearest massive galactic neighbor, is about six times larger and 1,000 times more massive than previously measured.

Galaxies have turned into deserts without young stars billions of years ago due to galactic warming. The phenomenon has puzzled astronomers to identify the process that makes the gas in these galaxies too energetic and hot to make stars.

Color image of the cluster taken with Hubble Space Telescope (images in three different filters were combined to make an RGB image). In the inset we show three spectra of the multiply imaged systems. They have peaks at the same wavelength, hence showing t
