The Virgo Clusters
A much larger cluster of galaxies is that in the
direction of Coma Berenices. The Coma cluster (as it
is called) is a dense knot of an elliptical shape about
six times as distant as the Virgo cluster and
containing perhaps 10 times as many galaxies! Some
3000 such very large clusters have been catalogued.
Other supergalaxies have been discovered. The
nearest other supergalaxy is the Southern
Supergalaxy that can be seen almost edge-on
extending through the constellations Cetus, Fornax,
Eridanus and Horologium to Dorado. Its apparent
nucleus is marked by a dense group of more than a
dozen galaxies (NGC 1365, 1374, 1379, 1380, 1381,
1387, 1389, 1399, 1404, 1437 & 1427).
At a distance modulus of 27.0, it is only slightly farther
away than the Virgo cluster and is of similar size,.
Astronomers feel (at this time) that there is little
