Astronomers at the European Space Agency have found a gigantic ball of gas in the group of galaxies Abell 3266. This gas ball has a mass of one billion Sun and a diameter of the Solar System of five billion. In addition, it has a temperature of tens of millions of degrees. Through the astronomers they have discovered, the cloud can be the origin of the galaxies that are found in the group of galaxies, since it goes to 750 km/s in its passage loses every hour the mass equivalent to the Sun.
In addition, due to the high temperature, the particles that form the cloud have a great speed so there is no gravitational collapse. In turn, dark matter retains the cloud to avoid dispersion.
