An eternity in a glance. This image contains numerous galaxies within Virgo and Coma Berenices. The more notable portion is the stretch of galaxies that looks ljke it is on a chain, known as the Markarian’s chain, although a few galaxies, nominally M84 and M86 are missing. I have elected to frame Makarian’s Chain with M88 and M87, with M88’s spiral structure somewhat visible and M87 being a supergiant elliptical galaxy that is one of the most massive galaxies in our local universe and is located near the center of the Virgo Cluster. M88 is a spiral galaxy that belongs to the Virgo Cluster as well and may be on a highly elliptical orbit towards the cluster’s center which is occupied by M87. #makarianschain #m88 #m87 #virgocluster #virgosupercluster #astrophotos #galaxyseason #galaxies #astrophotography #starscape #銀河 (at Srikandi Resort) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvBUO41lLls/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7i9cop0373o1
