From the Wikipedia:

The Hydra Cluster (or Abell 1060) is a galaxy cluster that contains 157 bright galaxies, appearing in the constellationHydra.[4] The cluster spans about ten million light-years and has an unusually high proportion of dark matter.[5] The cluster is part of the Hydra-Centaurus Supercluster located 158 million light-years from Earth. The cluster's largest galaxies are elliptical galaxiesNGC 3309 and NGC 3311 and the spiral galaxyNGC 3312 all having a diameter of about 150,000 light-years.[6] In spite of a nearly circular appearance on the sky, there is evidence in the galaxy velocities for a clumpy, three-dimensional distribution.[7]
