Description

Coma Cluster (Abell 1656) is a large cluster of galaxies that contains over 1000 identified galaxies. The image contains only 300 of them. Mean distance to the galaxies in the cluster is around 321 million light years. However there are some other galaxies in the background, which are not part of the Coma Cluster, but still visible on the image. The hero of the image is PGC1826064, which is located 4.4 billion light years. This means that the photons registered on the image are almost as old as the Earth.
