Description

Abell 1367 Leo Cluster  is a galaxy cluster mainly exist out of spiral galaxies. The distance of the cluster is about 370 million light years. Most galaxy clusters are composed out of elliptical galaxies this suggests that this cluster is a lot younger. Together with the Coma Cluster it forms the Coma super cluster and is part of the great wall which is hundreds of million light years long. Its biggest member NGC 3842 has a super big black hole with a mass of 9.7 billion times the mass of our Sun. More than 2,330 times the weight of the black hole “Sagittarius A “ in the galactic centre of our Milky Way. It is one of the largest known black holes in the Universe. This gives an event horizon (Schwartzschild radius) of about 28,6 billion kilometers.
