Artists impression of nearby clusters of galaxies
Artists impression representing our nearby clusters of galaxies, seen here as white haloes. The Milky Way galaxy belongs to the Local Group which is situated in the middle of the picture on the far right side. Virgo Cluster, our major nearby cluster, is visible on the far left side of the artwork at a distance of 50 million light years away from the Milky Way. The Virgo cluster is considered to be the centre of the " Local Supercluster" of galaxies which includes our Local Group

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an artist's impression of the awe-inspiring clusters of galaxies that surround us. The image portrays our nearby galactic neighbors as mesmerizing white haloes, each one a testament to the vastness and complexity of our universe. Positioned on the far right side, we find our very own Milky Way galaxy proudly belonging to the Local Group, which takes center stage in this cosmic masterpiece. On the opposite end, towards the far left side of this artwork, lies a prominent figure known as the Virgo Cluster. Situated approximately 50 million light years away from us, it serves as a beacon within our celestial neighborhood. In fact, it is considered to be at the heart of what scientists refer to as the "Local Supercluster" – an extensive collection of galaxies that includes not only our Local Group but also countless others. As we delve into this extraordinary composition captured by Science Photo Library, we are reminded of humanity's insatiable curiosity about space and its mysteries. This photograph invites us to contemplate our place in such a grand tapestry while marveling at these distant cosmic communities. It serves as a reminder that there is so much more beyond what meets the eye and encourages us to continue exploring and unraveling the secrets hidden within these galactic wonders.
