This is an X-ray image of the galaxy cluster Abell 3627 obtained with the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton. The galaxy ESO 137-001 is plunging towards the center of the cluster, as shown by the direction of its tail (see the box which shows the field in the composite image). The X-ray emission is from multimillion degree gas that is pervading the cluster.
