<br>
The Perseus cluster (Abell 426) is a cluster of galaxies in the constellation Perseus. It has a recession speed of 5,366 km/s and a diameter of 863′. It is one of the most massive objects in the known universe, containing thousands of galaxies immersed in a vast cloud of multimillion-degree gas. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perseus_Cluster">Wikipedia - Perseus_Cluster</a><p><i>Note: click on the image to view it at the full resolution of the uploaded image, then click again for actual size.</i><p>
