The Hercules supercluster is a massive group of galaxies located in the constellation Hercules. It is one of the largest known superclusters in the universe, containing numerous galaxy clusters and groups, which are bound together by gravity. This supercluster is part of the larger Laniakea supercluster. The Hercules supercluster is notable for its rich structure and the variety of galaxies it contains, including both spiral and elliptical types. It plays a significant role in the study of cosmic evolution and the large-scale structure of the universe, helping astronomers understand how galaxies and clusters form and interact over time.
