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]
Virgo Supercluster, Coma Supercluster, Perseus–Pisces Supercluster, Ursa Major-Lynx Supercluster, Hydra–Centaurus Supercluster, Sculptor Supercluster, Pavo–Corona Australis Supercluster form a sheet between the Northern Local Supervoid and the Southern Local Supervoid. The Hercules Supercluster separates the Northern Local Void from the ...
NGC 1528 is an open cluster in the constellation Perseus. It was discovered by William Herschel in 1790. It is located in the north-eastern part of the constellation, just under 3 degrees north of μ Persei. Less than 1.5° to the southeast is the open cluster NGC 1545 (m = 6.2).
NGC 1259 is a lenticular galaxy [2] located about 243 million light-years away [3] in the constellation Perseus. [4] The galaxy was discovered by astronomer Guillaume Bigourdan on October 21, 1884 [5] and is a member of the Perseus Cluster. [6] [5] A type Ia supernova designated as SN 2008L was discovered in NGC 1259 on January 14, 2008. [7] [8 ...
NGC 1272 is a massive [2] elliptical galaxy [3] located about 230 million light-years away [4] in the constellation Perseus. [5] It was discovered by astronomer Heinrich d'Arrest on February 14, 1863. [6] NGC 1272 has an active nucleus and is the second brightest [2] member of the Perseus Cluster [7] [6] after NGC 1275. [2]
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]
NGC 1275 (also known as Perseus A or Caldwell 24) is a type 1.5 Seyfert galaxy [3] located around 237 million light-years away [2] in the direction of the constellation Perseus. NGC 1275 is a member of the large Perseus Cluster of galaxies.
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 ...
