Hercules Supercluster
The Hercules Supercluster is a massive group of galaxies located in the constellation of Hercules. It is one of the largest known superclusters in the universe, containing thousands of galaxies, along with hot gas and dark matter. This supercluster is part of the larger Laniakea Supercluster, which includes our own Milky Way Galaxy.
The Hercules Supercluster spans approximately 500 million light-years and is situated about 500 million light-years away from Earth. Its gravitational influence affects the motion of galaxies within it, making it an important area of study for understanding cosmic structure and evolution.
