The overlaid blue cloud illustrates the intracluster medium around the Spiderweb Galaxy, as seen when the universe was 3 billion years old.
Chandra image of the Perseus Cluster's radio lobes. These relativistic jets of plasma emit radio waves, are X-ray "cold", and appear as dark patches in stark contrast to the rest of the ICM.

A hydrogen ion is an ion created when a hydrogen atom loses or gains an electron. A positively charged hydrogen ion can readily combine with other particles and therefore is only seen isolated when it
Intracluster medium
…In astronomy, the intracluster medium (ICM) is the superheated plasma that permeates a galaxy cluster. The gas consists mainly of ionized hydrogen and helium and accounts for most of the baryonic material in galaxy clusters. The ICM is heated to temperatures on the order of 10 to 100 megakelvins…
