From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hydra-Centaurus Supercluster, or the Hydra and Centaurus superclusters, is a supercluster in two parts and the closest neighbour of Milky Way's Virgo Supercluster.

The cluster includes four large galaxy clusters in the Centaurus part

• A3526 (Centaurus cluster),
• A3565,
• A3574,
• A3581

and the proximate

• Hydra Cluster (A1060) and
• Norma cluster (A3627).

Apart from the central clusters, which are 150 to 200 millions of light years away, several smaller clusters belong to the group.
