Discovery of 'Mini Halo' Points to How the Early Universe Was Formed

Ancient radio signal just changed what we know about the universe

LOFAR detects a faint radio 'mini-halo' from 3.8 billion years ago, revealing how galaxy clusters evolved in the early universe.

Discovery of 'mini halo' points to how the early universe was formed

Astronomers have uncovered a vast cloud of energetic particles—a "mini halo"—surrounding one of the most distant galaxy clusters ever observed, marking a major step forward in understanding the hidden forces that shape the cosmos.

Scientists Uncover 'Mini Halo' in Distant Galaxy Cluster, Shaping New Insights into Early Universe Formation

A groundbreaking discovery, recently detailed in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, has unveiled a “mini halo” surrounding one of the most distant galaxy clusters observed to date. This mini halo, composed of high-energy particles and magnetic fields, is located approximately 10 billion light-years from Earth, doubling the previous distance known for such phenomena. This remarkable finding offers crucial insights into the processes that have sha…
