The Perseus–Pisces Supercluster is one of two dominant concentrations of galaxies (the other being the Local supercluster) in the nearby universe (within 300 million light years). This supercluster also borders a prominent void, the Taurus Void , and is part of the Perseus–Pegasus Filament which stretches for roughly a billion light years .
The Pisces–Cetus Supercluster Complex is estimated to be about 1.0 billion light-years (Gly) long and 150 million light years (Mly) wide. It is one of the largest structures known in the observable universe, but is exceeded by the Sloan Great Wall (1.3 Gly), Clowes–Campusano LQG (2.0 Gly), U1.11 LQG (2.5 Gly), Huge-LQG (4.0 Gly), and Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall (10 Gly ...
RCS2 J2327 (also identified as RCS2 J2327-0204) is an extremely massive galaxy cluster.It is located approximately 6.4 billion light-years away in the constellation of Pisces, [2] thus making it one of the farthest clusters away from Earth.
The brightest cluster galaxy of Abell 68 or Abell 68 BCG (short for Abell 68 Brightest Cluster Galaxy), also known as PGC 1360619, is a type-cD elliptical galaxy. It occupies as dominant member of the cluster. It is located in the constellation of Pisces with a redshift of 0.24. [16] Abell 68 BCG has a light profile.
The cluster CL0024+17 is a cluster of galaxies located in Pisces, and about 4 billion light years distant. Cl 0024+17 is allowing astronomers to probe the distribution of dark matter in space. The blue streaks near the center of the image are the smeared images of very distant galaxies that
It consisted of two known rich clusters and one newly discovered cluster as a result of the study that discovered it. The then known clusters were Cl 1604+4304 (z=0.897) and Cl 1604+4321 (z=0.924), which then known to have 21 and 42 known galaxies respectively. The then newly discovered cluster was located at 16 h 04 m 25.7 s, +43° 14′ 44.7 ...
The neighboring superclusters to the Laniakea Supercluster are the Shapley Supercluster, Hercules Supercluster, Coma Supercluster, and Perseus–Pisces Supercluster. The edges of the superclusters and Laniakea were not clearly known at the time of Laniakea's definition. [6]
MGC1 is a globular cluster in the constellation of Pisces.It lies about 650,000 light-years (about 200 kpc) away from the Andromeda Galaxy (M 31)'s galactic center. [4] MGC1 is considered as one of the most isolated globular clusters in the Local Group. [4]
