Hercules cluster comparison table

Subject has number of galaxie is part of is a kind of has redshift is an instance of has synonym has definition

galaxy cluster 10² to 10³ (order of magnitude) 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.

Hercules cluster 75 Local Supercluster z = 0.036 galaxy cluster 3U 1551 + 15 An unsymmetrical cluster. Half of the galaxies are spiral or irregular and about half elliptical or S0. It contains a rather large number of disturbed and peculiar galaxies. The "missing mass", if present, must constitute more than 95% of the total.
