Galaxy cluster in the constellation Eridanus
The spiral galaxy NGC 1232 is one of the brightest in the Eridanus Cluster.
The barred spiral galaxy NGC 1300 is a well-known member of the Eridanus Cluster.
The Eridanus Cluster is a galaxy cluster roughly 23 Mpc (75 Mly ) from Earth , containing about 73 main galaxies and about 200 total galaxies. About 30% have Hubble classifications of elliptical or S0 and the remaining 70% are spiral or irregular.[ 2] These galaxies reside in smaller groups which are all loosely gravitationally bound to each other, suggesting that the system is still condensing from the Hubble flow and may eventually form a cluster of about 1014 M ☉ . A low velocity dispersion compared to that of, for example, the Coma cluster, supports this hypothesis.[ 3] The Eridanus Cluster is located in the constellation Eridanus near the Fornax Cluster , and is sometimes called the "Fornax II Cluster".[ 4]
