Description
English: The Fornax Galaxy Cluster is one of the closest of such groupings beyond our Local Group of galaxies. This VISTA image was constructed from images taken through Z, J and Ks filters in the near-infrared part of the spectrum and has captured many of the cluster members in a single image. At the lower-right is the elegant barred-spiral galaxy NGC 1365 and to the left the big elliptical NGC 1399, surrounded by a swarm of faint globular clusters. The image is about 1 degree by 1.5 degrees in extent and the total exposure time was 25 minutes.
Español: El Cúmulo de Galaxias Fornax es uno de los más cercanos de tales tipos de agrupaciones, aparte de nuestro Grupo Local de galaxias. Esta imagen de VISTA fue construida a partir de otras tomadas con filtros Z, J y Ks en la parte infrarroja cercana del espectro y ha logrado capturar a muchos de los miembros del cúmulo en una sola imagen. En la parte inferior derecha está la elegante galaxia espiral barrada NGC 1365 y hacia la izquierda, la gran elíptica NGC 1399 rodeada por un enjambre de débiles cúmulos globulares. La imagen es de aproximadamente 1 grado por 1,5 grados en forma extendida y el tiempo de exposición total fue de 25 minutos.
