Fornax Cluster of galaxies |
|
| |
Fornax is the Latin word for furnace,
and is the name of a constellation in the southern
sky. This picture shows the impressive Fornax Cluster
at a distance of 60 million light-years. The galaxies
in the photo are of different types. Some are spirals,
like NGC 1437. Many are ellipticals, like NGC 1399,
1404 and 1427 - to mention the brighter ones only.
At least one, NGC 1427 A, is of the irregular type. |
