Perseus Cluster Dwarf Galaxies
These four dwarf galaxies are part of a census of small galaxies in the tumultuous heart of the nearby Perseus galaxy cluster. The galaxies appear smooth and symmetrical, suggesting that they have not been tidally disrupted by the pull of gravity in the dense cluster...

Zoom into Perseus Cluster Dwarf Galaxies
A huge cluster of galaxies lies in the northern constellation of Perseus. At a distance of about 300 million light-years away, it is one of the nearest galaxy clusters. The entire cluster contains thousands of galaxies and is considered to be one of the most massive objects in...
