Abell Galaxy Clusters

Abell galaxy clusters encompass massive space and distance and are the largest known gravitationally bound structures in the universe. The Abell catalog consists of 4073 objects - the original 2712 clusters of the original George O. Abell "Northern Survey" of 1958, supplemented with an additional 1361 clusters from the "Southern Survey" in 1989. These images help us to appreciate the vastness of the huge universe which lies beyond the boundaries of our small planet.

The collection of images below is sortable by their Abell number, using the top menu option. If you add an image here, please include the tag AGC and the 4 digit numerical identifier from 1 to 4073, such as AGC=0042, in the image description.
