Description

Near to the well-known edge on galaxy NGC 891 lies the small group of galaxies known as Abell 347. The cluster is relatively poor in Abell terms but contains 7 galaxies: NGC 906, NGC 909, NGC 910, NGC 911, NGC 912, NGC 914 and NGC 923.Abell 347 probably lies at a distance of about 240 million light-years. The cluster is part of the Perseus-Pisces Supercluster, which also includes the clusters Abell 262 and Abell 426. The Perseus-Pisces super cluster is thought to be the most massive object within 300 million light-years. NGC 898 and NGC 910 were discovered by William Herschel in 1786. NGC 906, NGC 909, NGC 911 and NGC 914 were found by Stephan in 1878, and Dreyer found NGC 923 in 1874. Source - https://www.webbdeepsky.com/galaxies/object?object=Abell%2B347
