galaxy cluster collection of galaxies An aggregate of galaxies. Bautz and Morgan divide them into three morphological types: type I contains a supergiant cD galaxy; Coma is type II, type III contains no members significantly brighter than the general bright population. Virgo is type III. 21 known X-ray sources are associated with clusters of galaxies.

Sculptor Group Local Supercluster galaxy cluster The nearest group of galaxies to the Local Group. NGC 253 4 to 10 million light-years
