The Perseus Cluster which is located about 240 million light years away, is one of the most massive objects in the known universe. It contains thousands of galaxies, of which 163 can be identified in the above picture. The galaxy cluster is also immersed within a cloud of extremely hot gas, at temperatures in the millions of degrees range, and consequently emits a large amount of X-rays.
Measurements from the NASA's Chandra X-ray observatory & radio observations show that there is a wave in the gas about twice the size of the Milky Way galaxy. The wave was formed billions of years ago by a close encounter with a smaller galaxy cluster. For more info see the NASA website.
