	Science Bulletins: Starburst Lights Up a Galaxy Cluster An international team of astronomers has discovered an enormous galaxy cluster producing stars at a fantastic pace. Galaxy clusters, the Universe's largest structures, are groups of galaxies bound by gravity with a supermassive black hole at the center. Most galaxy clusters produce few stars. But the newly described Phoenix Cluster is experiencing a period of rapid star formation. Science Bulletins is a production of the National Center for Science Literacy, Education, and Technology (NCSLET), part of the Department of Education at the American Museum of Natural History.
