Abell 1185 is a galaxy cluster visible through the southwest edge of Ursa Major. The cluster contains at least 82 galaxies at a distance of about 400 million light-years from Earth. The most prominent galaxies in this image are elliptical galaxies, but many spiral, lenticular, and irregular galaxies are also seen.

How many galaxies are in the Abell cluster?

Select Your Birth Date. Located 3.5 billion light-years away, Abell 2744 contains several hundred galaxies and might be a pile-up of at least four smaller galaxy clusters. Abell 2744’s strong gravitational field acts as a lens, brightening and magnifying the light of nearly 3,000 distant background galaxies.

Both NGC 3558 and LEDA 83465 are located approximately 450 million light-years away in the constellation of Ursa Major.

NGC 3558 is an elliptical galaxy, radiating light in a perfectly even sphere from a bright center.

LEDA 83465 is a barred spiral galaxy, with arms that are wispy like fog connected to a bar crossing the galaxy’s shining core.

They are member of the galaxy cluster Abell 1185, which is roughly one million light-years across

The Abell catalog is a list of approximately 4,000 galaxy clusters. The catalog was compiled by American astronomer George O. Abell in 1958. Abell used plates from the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (POSS) to identify 2,712 galaxy clusters.  In 1987, Abell, Corwin, and Olowin extended the catalog to the southern hemisphere. 

The Abell catalog contains galaxy clusters with at least 30 members and a redshift of z = 0.2. Of the 2,712 clusters identified by Abell, 1,351 have been observed by the SDSS Data Release 5. 

Some galaxy clusters in the Abell catalog include: 

  • Abell 370: One of the first galaxy clusters where astronomers observed gravitational lensing. 
  • Abell 2744: Located 3.5 billion light-years away, this cluster contains several hundred galaxies. 
  • Abell 1689: Shown in an image from the Hubble Space Telescope.
