This is amazing, I haven't heard of any merger of two galaxy clusters until now.

"One of the hottest, most energetic mergers of two colossal galaxy clusters has been imaged in exquisite detail by an X-ray observatory in space, astronomers announced on Thursday. The collision is one of the most powerful cosmic events ever witnessed by astronomers."
It makes me wonder if there's some possibility that the Local group and the Virgo Cluster can merge in the future
