An almost equal push north and slightly east of m89 brings you to the spiral m90 also around 10th magnitude.

Space galaxy stars cluster virgo. The northern arm of the survey top extends 5 million light years from m87 center the massive galaxy at the clusters heart. The hubble study found evidence that these globular clusters are more likely to form in dense areas where star birth occurs at a rapid rate instead of uniformly from galaxy to galaxy. Ngc 4293 middle left is a spiral galaxy near the top of the virgo cluster. Comprising approximately 1300 and possibly up to 2000 member galaxies the cluster forms the heart of the larger virgo supercluster of which the local group containing the milky way galaxy is an outlying member.

Virgo cluster of galaxies. 1379 antlia cluster abell s 636. M84 bottom left is a large elliptical galaxy near the centre of the virgo cluster. Comprised of over 2000 galaxies and located about 54 million light years away the virgo cluster is the nearest large galaxy cluster to earth.

The local group is a member of the supercluster but not the cluster. Most of the star clusters in the virgo survey are older than 5 billion years. The virgo cluster is a cluster of galaxies whose center is 538 03 mly 165 01 mpc away in the constellation virgo. Ngc 4365 middle right is a large elliptical galaxy near the bottom of the virgo cluster.

The virgo cluster with its some 2000 member galaxies dominates our intergalactic neighborhood as it represents the physical center of our local supercluster also called virgo or coma virgo supercluster and influences all the galaxies and galaxy groups by the gravitational attraction of its enormous mass. Return to m89 and move a little more than a degree westward. The virgo galaxy cluster contains 11 deep space objects catalogued by charles messier more than any constellation except sagittarius which has 15.
