Excerpt: This page lists some of the more interesting galaxy clusters and groups. Defining the limits of galaxy clusters is imprecise as many clusters are still forming. In particular, clusters close to the Milky Way tend to be classified as galaxy clusters even when they are much smaller than more distant clusters. This is a list of galaxy clusters and groups that are well known by something other than an entry in a catalog or list, or a set of coordinates, or a systematic designation. Major nearby groups and clusters are generally named after the constellation they lie in. Many groups and clusters are named after the leading galaxy in the group or cluster. This repre...
