The BCG was also the most distant galaxy of the time. [48] [50] [51] [52] Abell 1930 (Bootes Cluster) 1936–1951 0.13 39 000 The BCG of this cluster was also the most distant galaxy of the time. [51] [53] Gemini Cluster 1932 − 1936 0.075 23 000 The BCG of this cluster was the most distant galaxy at the time. [53] [54]
These four near-equals at the core of galaxy cluster CL 0958+4702 are in the process of merging. [149] Galaxy protocluster LBG-2377: z=3.03 This was announced as the most distant galaxy merger ever discovered. It is expected that this proto-cluster of galaxies will merge to form a brightest cluster galaxy, and become the core of a larger galaxy ...
MACS J0152.5-2852 is a massive galaxy cluster. Almost every pixel seen in the image is a galaxy, each containing billions of stars. [1]Galaxy groups and clusters are the largest known gravitationally bound objects to have arisen thus far in the process of cosmic structure formation. [2]
Comprises such a huge amount of mass that the galaxy cluster noticeably curves spacetime around it, making it into a gravitational lens. Smaller galaxies behind the cluster appear distorted into long, warped arcs around the cluster’s edges.

A galaxy is a system of stars, stellar remnants, interstellar gas, dust, dark matter, bound together by gravity. The word is derived from the Greek galaxias, literally 'milky', a reference to the Milky Way galaxy that contains the Solar System.
These are globular clusters within the halo of the Milky Way galaxy. The diameter is in minutes of arc as seen from Earth. For reference, the J2000 epoch celestial coordinates of the Galactic Center are right ascension 17 h 45 m 40.04 s, declination −29° 00′ 28.1″.
