    The second most massive galaxy cluster next to El Gordo is RCS2 J2327, a galaxy cluster with the mass of 2 quadrillion suns. Also has a systematic designation of ACT-CL J0102-4915. [6] [7] [8] Musket Ball Cluster: Named in comparison to the Bullet Cluster, as this one is older and slower galaxy cluster merger than the Bullet Cluster.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CL0024+17

    The cluster CL0024+17 is a cluster of galaxies located in Pisces, and about 4 billion light years distant. Cl 0024+17 is allowing astronomers to probe the distribution of dark matter in space . The blue streaks near the center of the image are the smeared images of very distant galaxies that are not part of not much but a little tiny part the ...

    Composite image of five galaxies clustered together just 600 million years after the Universe's birth [1]. A galaxy cluster, or a cluster of galaxies, is a structure that consists of anywhere from hundreds to thousands of galaxies that are bound together by gravity, [1] with typical masses ranging from 10 14 to 10 15 solar masses.

    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 ...

    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]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_1316

    The Fornax galaxy cluster with NGC 1316 (large, near middle) NGC 1316 is located within the Fornax Cluster, a cluster of galaxies in the constellation Fornax. However, in contrast to Messier 87, which is a similar elliptical galaxy that is located in the center of the Virgo Cluster, NGC 1316 is located at the edge of the Fornax Cluster. [11]

    Spiral galaxy NGC 7331 is a foreground galaxy in the same field as the collection, which is also called the Deer Lick Group. [1] It contains four other members, affectionately referred to as the "fleas": the lenticular or unbarred spirals NGC 7335 and NGC 7336, the barred spiral galaxy NGC 7337 and the elliptical galaxy NGC 7340.

    The region includes Abell 2147, Abell 2151 (Hercules Cluster), and Abell 2152 galaxy clusters. [4] [5] An extremely long filament of galaxies has been found, that connects this group of clusters to the Abell 2197 and Abell 2199 pair. [5] Abell 2162 in the nearby constellation Corona Borealis is also a member. [6]
