An orbiting telescope has spotted a massive cluster of galaxies in deep space that helps to confirm theories about dark energy.
Detected in a scan by the European Space Agency's (ESA) orbiting X-ray telescope, XMM-Newton, the cluster's mass is about 1,000 times that of our own galaxy, the Milky Way. The huge cluster (known by its catalogue number of 2XMM J083026+524133) lies 7.7 billion light-years from Earth, the ESA said on Monday.
