Summary

Description
English: This deep image of the Virgo Cluster obtained by Chris Mihos and his colleagues using the Burrell Schmidt telescope shows the diffuse light between the galaxies belonging to the cluster.

Le Nord est vers le haut et l'Est vers la gauche (Télescope à miroir). Les ronds noirs correspondent aux emplacements d'étoiles brillantes situées premier plan qui ont été masquées. Messier 87 est la galaxie la plus grande de l'image (en bas à gauche).
Čeština: Tento podrobný snímek Kupy galaxií v Panně, který pomocí Burrell Schmidtova dalekohledu pořídil Carl Mihos a jeho kolektiv, ukazuje rozptýlené světlo mezi galaxiemi, které patří do Kupy. Sever je nahoře, východ vlevo. Tmavé puntíky ukazují místa, odkud byly z obrázku odstraněny jasné hvězdy ležící v popředí. Messier 87 je největší galaxie v levé části snímku.
