Glossarbegriffe: Galaxienhaufen

Redirected from Galaxienhaufen

Description: Ein Galaxienhaufen ist eine Gruppe von Galaxien, die durch ihre Schwerkraft miteinander verbunden sind. Galaxienhaufen können unterschiedlich groß und dicht sein und Hunderte bis Tausende von Galaxien enthalten. Ein Beispiel für einen großen Haufen mit Tausenden von Galaxien ist der uns nächstgelegene Galaxienhaufen: der Virgo-Haufen. Außer Galaxien enthalten Galaxienhaufen auch Plasma und große Mengen an Dunkler Materie.

Loose grouping of galaxies with many yellow-ish elliptical galaxies and one priminent spiral galaxy

Fornax Galaxy Cluster

Bildunterschriften: Galaxies can reside in groups, such as our own local group, or in clusters of galaxies. The Fornax Galaxy Cluster is one of the nearest such large groupings of galaxies. Visible in this image taken by the Very Large Telescope Survey Telescope VST (at the European Southern Observatory in Chile) are elliptical galaxies (without defined structures and in a yellow tint) but also spiral galaxies such as NGC 1365 towards the bottom right. This galaxy in particular is classified as a barred spiral galaxy due to its prominent and well-defined bar. The center of the Fornax Cluster is the giant elliptical galaxy NGC 1399, visible as the largest galaxy on the left of the image.
