Vergo Galaxy Cluster, DS-64 Projectors

Vergo Galaxy Cluster, DS-64 ProjectorsThe Virgo Cluster is a cluster of galaxies whose center is away in the Virgo constellation. Comprising approximately 1,300 (and possibly up to 2,000) member galaxies, the cluster forms the heart of the larger Virgo Supercluster, of which the Local Group (containing the Milky Way galaxy) is a member. Many of the brighter galaxies in this cluster, including the giant elliptical galaxy Messier 87, were discovered in the late 1770s and early 1780s
