Also known as "Abell 1656," the Coma Cluster is more than 300 million light-years away.
Most of the galaxies that inhabit the central portion of the Coma Cluster are ellipticals.
The data of the Coma Cluster were taken as part of a survey of a nearby rich galaxy cluster.
They are both rich and centrally concentrated, rather like the nearby Coma Cluster.
Along with the Coma Cluster, it is one of the two major clusters comprising the Coma Supercluster.
Nonetheless, dwarf galaxies with spiral-like structure have been identified within the Virgo Cluster and Coma Cluster.
The Coma Cluster (Abell 1656) is a large cluster of galaxies that contains over 1,000 identified galaxies.
Both dwarf and giant ellipticals are found in abundance in the Coma Cluster.
The Coma Cluster is an example of a type II.
But rich clusters of galaxies, such as the Coma Cluster, have a σ 1,000 km/s.
