A galaxy cloud is a group of galaxy clusters and a substructure of a supercluster. The Local Supercluster (to which the Milky Way belongs) contains the Virgo cluster, the Canes Venatici Cloud and the Virgo II Cloud.
Famous quotes containing the words galaxy and/or cloud:
“for it is not so much to know the self
as to know it as it is known
by galaxy and cedar cone,
as if birth had never found it
and death could never end it:”
—Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
“I belong to the fag-end of Victorian liberalism, and can look back to an age whose challenges were moderate in their tone, and the cloud on whose horizon was no bigger than a man’s hand.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
