MACS J0717: The Six-Billion-Light-Year Battlefield Smashing the Foundations of Space

52 min•21 januari 2026

Six billion light-years away, the universe is throwing a punch.

In this episode of Falling Asleep with the Universe, we dive into MACS J0717—not just a galaxy cluster, but a cosmic "pile-up" of four different galaxies colliding at once. It is one of the most complex and violent places in existence, where the sheer scale of destruction is actually helping us understand how our universe was built.

Forget the textbook jargon. Let’s drift off into the beautiful, smashing reality of the deep cosmos.
