- List of galaxy clusters
This page lists some of the more interesting
galaxy cluster s and groups.Defining the limits of galaxy clusters is imprecise as many clusters are still forming. In particular, clusters close to the
Milky Way tend to be classified as galaxy clusters even when they are much smaller than more distant clusters.List of groups and clusters

Through researching of galaxy association, sometimes clusters are put forward that are not genuine clusters or superclusters, but rather random collections of groups that chance alignment makes it seem is a cluster.
