solar systems.

=================

A galaxy cluster is a large number of galaxies (more than 50, less than 50 is generally referred to as a galaxy group) with the following characteristics:

They contain 50 to 1,000 galaxies, hot X-ray emitting gas and large amounts of dark matter

The distribution of the above-mentioned three components is approximately the same in the cluster.

They have total masses of 1014 to 1015 solar masses.

They typically have a diameter from 2 to 10 Megaparsecs (1 Megaparsec = approximately 3,262,000 light years)

The spread of velocities for the individual galaxies is about 800-1000 km/s.
