The Coma Cluster is huge, with over 1,000 galaxies within a 4°-wide field. The richest area, however, is the central 0.5°, a region that covers as much sky as the Full Moon. This cluster’s ...
The Coma Cluster of galaxies is among the densest known. This turbulent array of more than 3,000 galaxies (mostly ellipticals and lenticulars) forms a dim backdrop to the brighter Coma Berenices ...
Despite decades of searching, scientists still haven’t found the elusive substance that holds galaxies together: dark matter.
The stunning view of the Coma galaxy cluster, taken by the Dark Energy Camera. The two large galaxies at the center of the cluster are giant ellipticals, namely NGC 4889 and NGC 4874 to its right.
Scientists have discovered enormous tendrils of hot plasma emanating from the center of the Coma galaxy cluster, and you can see them for yourself in the composite first image in the photo gallery ...
