Virgo-Superhaufens
The Virgo Supercluster is a massive group of galaxies that includes the Virgo Cluster, which is one of the most studied clusters in the universe. It contains thousands of galaxies, including our own Milky Way, and spans over 110 million light-years in diameter. This supercluster is part of the larger Laniakea Supercluster, which encompasses many other galaxy clusters.
Located in the direction of the constellation Virgo, the Virgo Supercluster is significant for understanding the large-scale structure of the universe. It plays a crucial role in the study of cosmic evolution and the distribution of galaxies, helping astronomers learn more about the forces that shape the universe.
