The Coma Cluster
The extensively studied Coma cluster, lying near the north galactic
pole and nearly 100 megaparsecs away, contains more than 1000 bright
galaxies. A note of interest about this image: it shows the
merging of the larger, brighter central cluster and the fainter
group of galaxies to the lower right. The field of the image is
2.7 degrees wide by 2.5 degrees high.
