A Galaxy cluster in Virgo
The Galaxy cluster labeled
About this Object
This giant agglomeration
of galaxies is the nearest big cluster of galaxies, the largest
proven structure in our intergalactic neighborhood, and the most
remote cosmic objects with a physical connection to our own small
group of galaxies, the Local Group, including our Milky Way galaxy.
This structure is another discovery by Charles Messier.
The Virgo Cluster with its some 2000 member galaxies dominates our
intergalactic neighborhood, as it represents the physical center
of our Local Supercluster (also called Virgo or Coma-Virgo Supercluster),
and influences all the galaxies and galaxy groups by the gravitational
attraction of its enormous mass.
