Astronomy Picture of the Day . The Coma Cluster of Galaxies . ... 21.03.2006 . ... The Coma Cluster of Galaxies pictured above is one of the densest clusters known - it contains thousands of galaxies . Each of these galaxies houses billions of stars - just as our own Milky Way Galaxy does. ... Most galaxies in Coma and other clusters are ellipticals, while most galaxies outside of clusters are spirals. ... Publications with keywords: Coma Cluster . ... Thousands of Coma Cluster Galaxies . ...

... Editor's choices for the most educational Astronomy Pictures of the Day about clusters of galaxies: . APOD: 2006 March 21 - The Coma Cluster of Galaxies . ... APOD: 2005 November 22 - A Galactic Collision in Cluster Abell 1185 . ... A prominent example occurs on the left of the above image of the rich cluster of galaxies Abell 1185. ... Recent observations of Abell 1185 have found unusual globular clusters of stars that appear to belong only to the galaxy cluster and not to any individual galaxy. ...

... December 13, 1997 . The Coma Cluster of Galaxies . ... The Coma Cluster of Galaxies pictured is one of the densest clusters known - it contains thousands of galaxies . Each of these galaxies house billions of stars - just as our own Milky Way Galaxy does. ... In fact, the Coma Cluster is so big it takes light millions of years just to go from one side to the other! Most galaxies in Coma and other clusters are ellipticals , while most galaxies outside of clusters are spirals . ...

... These Frontier Fields will combine the power of HST with the natural gravitational telescopes of high-magnification clusters of galaxies. ... We are soliciting gravitational lensing maps for the last four Hubble Frontier Fields clusters (MACSJ0717.5+3745, MACSJ1149.5+2223, AbellS1063, and Abell 370) based upon the exceptionally deep HST FF imaging and other new ancillary data. ... For the full set of proposal instructions and requirements, see the FY16 Frontier Fields Lensing Map Call for Proposals....

... Millions and billions of stars were bound by gravity into groups that we call galaxies. And gravity even confines galaxies together in packs that we call galaxy clusters . ... It shows the Spiderweb Galaxy forming at the centre of a galaxy cluster. ... Like a construction site on Earth, galaxy clusters are dusty while they are forming. ... Using one of these special telescopes astronomers have managed to look at stars being born inside the Spiderweb galaxy cluster for the first time. ...

home publications > mercury . ... Big Clusters, Tiny Galaxies . ... Astronomers struggle to understand why giant star clusters form in the tiniest of galaxies . ... These clusters are probably young versions of globular clusters, but they are commonly called super star clusters. Seven dwarf galaxies within 16 million light-years have formed super star clusters, with one of these galaxies, NGC 1569, possessing two young clusters. ... Super star clusters have a lot to tell us about star formation. ...

However others are less pessimistic and it has even been claimed that the mysterious ?Wow! signal? received in 1977 originated from the direction M55.б  Sadly, this still unexplained pulse of radio energy originated from a location rather to the northwest of M55 so I doubt if the source was this cluster (if indeed the signal was genuinely of extraterrestrial origin). ... Mysterious Wow! ...

... Research . ... A rare hybrid morphology radio galaxy . ... In this project we will be able to investigate the environmental effect on star formation and galaxy evolution in individual galaxies falling into the cluster through radio observations of active galactic nuclei (AGN). Current models of galaxy evolution regulate the star formation rates within the simulated galaxies by invoking radio-mode feedback from AGN. ... Julie.Banfield@anu.edu.au . ...
