By analyzing the data from the DESI Legacy Imaging Survey, Chinese astronomers have investigated a globular cluster known as ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

This structure also sometimes goes by another name: the Virgo Supercluster, after its largest constituent cluster of galaxies, Virgo. That large cluster also happens to lie near the supercluster ...

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 ...

Join Miguel here as he takes us through his "Thousands of Galaxies Immersed in the Reddish Hydrogen Gas of Virgo Cluster" image. This image features the Virgo Cluster, a collection of galaxies ...

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 ...

However, they concluded this wasn’t actually part of the Milky Way or the Local Group, but was instead much farther away, part of the Virgo Cluster of galaxies about 60 million light years away!

Scan the region to the right of Vindemiatrix with a telescope on a dark night, and you’ll find dozens of fuzzy blobs: the brightest members of the Virgo cluster. Each of these galaxies is more ...
