A group of galaxies is called a galaxy cluster or galaxy group.
A group of galaxies is called a cluster.
the Virgo Cluster is a cluster of galaxies at a distance of approximately 59 million light years
A small cluster called the 'local group'
In astronomy, a cluster is a large group of celestial bodies such as stars or galaxies.
No, a globular cluster is a group of stars that are part of a galaxy. The Virgo cluster is much bigger. It is a large nearby group of galaxies.
Yes its called the Local Cluster or Local Group, we have many minor Globular or Cluster Galaxies orbiting our own.
The galaxy cluster that contains the Milky Way is called the Local Group.
That is called the Local Group.
The cluster, which contains the Milky way and more than 50 other galaxies, is called the Local Cluster. The cluster has a diameter of 3.1 million parsecs (10 million light years). The Local Group is part of the much larger Virgo Supercluster.
No, The Local Group is not. The local group is just an small cluster of a few galaxies on the outskirts of the Local Super-cluster which the Virgo cluster is in the center of it.
That is called the Local Group.
