The latter interpretation won out. But why did these galaxies cluster around Virgo? Was it chance or something more? In the 1950s, French astronomer Gérard de Vaucouleurs observed how these Virgo ...

Because the density of galaxies is high within clusters, galaxy collisions occur. One such collision can be seen in the lower right of the image of the Virgo cluster below. Galaxies at the center ...

INVESTIGATIONS with small radio telescopes 1 have been unable to detect 21-cm radiation from galaxies much beyond those in the M 81 group, at a distance of 3 mega-parsecs. The uncertainties in the ...

CLEVELAND ­ Case Western Reserve University astronomers have captured the deepest wide-field image ever of the nearby Virgo cluster of galaxies, directly revealing for the first time a vast ...

Along with Virgo, the sharp vision of Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) resolved the star clusters in 100 galaxies of various sizes, shapes, and brightness – even in faint, dwarf galaxies.

In the May 2015 issue of Astronomy, we presented a photographic finder chart of the major members of the Virgo Cluster. The image ran a full two pages, but the galaxies on it were small ...

Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) telescope, the researchers studied gas reservoirs in 51 galaxies from the thousands located within the Virgo cluster, 65 million light ...

It lies at the western edge of the Coma-Virgo Cluster of galaxies. From a dark site, an 11-inch telescope will reveal several hundred galaxies here, so take your time and be sure of your ...

This stunning image by skywatcher Larry Van Vleet is of Markarian's Chain, a stretch of galaxies in the Virgo cluster. The galaxies are said to be in a smooth, curved line making them appear to be ...

Spiral galaxy NGC 4254 is among the thousands of galaxies living and dying by the extreme physical ... More processes in the Virgo Cluster. The galaxy is seen here in radio from ALMA with ...
