These galaxy clusters show that younger, more distant galaxy clusters contained far more active galactic nuclei
(AGN) than older, nearby ones. It was found that the clusters at 58% of the Universe's current age contained
about 20 times more AGN than those at 82% of Universe's age. The galaxies in the earlier Universe contained
much more gas that allowed for more star formation and black hole growth. In the Chandra X-ray images,
red, green, and blue represent low, medium, and high-energy X-rays.
