Description

I only had a couple hours before the moon was going to rise so I chose to collect some very old photons. The Perseus Cluster is 350 million light years away. I became interested in this cluster recently after reading how one of the galaxies in the cluster, NGC1265, has two relativistic toroidal jets that are leaving galactic contrails visible in radio wavelengths as it moves through the intergalactic medium.
