The Perseus–Pisces Supercluster is one of two dominant concentrations of galaxies (the other being the Local supercluster) in the nearby universe (within 300 million light years). This supercluster also borders a prominent void, the Taurus Void, and is part of the Perseus–Pegasus Filament which stretches for roughly a billion light years. [1]
NGC 1220 is a young compact open cluster in the constellation Perseus. It was discovered by John Herschel in 1831. [5] The cluster is located at l = 143.04°, b = −3.96° in the galactic coordinate system, and is 120 parsecs above the galactic plane. [1] [2] It is approximately 6 m 42 s east and 10′ 12″ south from the nearest visible star ...
NGC 1245 is an open cluster in the constellation Perseus. It was discovered by William Herschel in 11 December 1786. [2] It is located 3° southwest of alpha Persei and can be spotted with 10x50 binoculars. [3] The cluster is nearly 1 billion years old. [4] NGC 1245 has about 200 members the brightest of which are of 12th magnitude. [5]
NGC 1260 is a spiral or lenticular galaxy [3] located 250 million light years away from earth in the constellation Perseus. [4] It was discovered by astronomer Guillaume Bigourdan on 19 October 1884. [5] NGC 1260 is a member of the Perseus Cluster [6] [3] and forms a tight pair with the galaxy PGC 12230. [3]
The Perseus–Pegasus Filament is a galaxy filament containing the Perseus–Pisces Supercluster and stretching for roughly a billion light-years (or over 300/h Mpc). Currently, it is considered to be one of the largest known structures in the universe. [note 1] This filament is adjacent to the Pisces–Cetus Supercluster Complex.
What is the astrological meaning of November's full moon? Within astrology, full moons are moments to release and let go. Each one takes on a singular flavor based on what else is occurring in the ...
It consisted of two known rich clusters and one newly discovered cluster as a result of the study that discovered it. The then known clusters were Cl 1604+4304 (z=0.897) and Cl 1604+4321 (z=0.924), which then known to have 21 and 42 known galaxies respectively. The then newly discovered cluster was located at 16 h 04 m 25.7 s, +43° 14′ 44.7 ...
