Astronomers at the University of Alabama (Huntsville, U.S.A.) and the Helsinki Observatory (Finland) found that X-rays coming from galaxy cluster Abell 3112 originate from electrons and photons. If this conclusion holds with other galaxy clusters, it will considerably reduce the mass of the universe.
