rbrecher Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 The Perseus Galaxy Cluster is, not surprisingly, located in Perseus. This image captures hundreds of the cluster’s members, including Perseus A, which is the right-most of the large pair in the centre. Perseus A, also known as NGC1275, lies near the centre of the galaxy cluster, and is 237 million light years away. It is a radio galaxy, emitting strongly in the radio frequency. The centre of the galaxy may contain a supermassive black hole with a mass more than 340 million times the mass of the Sun. That is BIG.
