A place were I can write...

My simple blog of pictures of travel, friends, activities and the Universe we live in as we go slowly around the Sun.

The Hydra Cluster of Galaxies


Three large galaxies, ellipticals and a spiral blue dominant, each 150,000 light-years wide.
But it was the overlapping pair that caught my view, cataloged as NGC 3314 Abell 1060, the Hydra galaxy cluster. One of three large galaxy clusters close to our Milky Way. At a distance of 100 million light-years, and 1.3 million light-years across.
