Coma cluster 1000 celestial sphere X-ray z = 0.023 X-ray source 10 million light years Abell 1656 4 × 10¹⁴ M_sun (luminous matter) The nearest massive cluster of galaxies. A symmetric cluster with primarily E and S0 galaxies. Luminous mass 4 × 10¹⁴ M_sun = 8 × 10⁴⁷ g; virial theorem mass about 5 × 10⁴⁸ g; mass needed to bind the cluster about 4 × 10⁴⁹ g. R ≈ 9 × 10²⁴ cm. 300 million light years

Virgo cluster 2500 M87 Local Supercluster z = 0.004 rich cluster 1 Mpc An irregular cluster including the giant elliptical M87 (the galaxy of greatest known mass).
