Panning Across The Fornax Galaxy Cluster & Galaxy NGC 1365 | ESO

The Fornax Galaxy Cluster is one of the closest of such groupings beyond our Local Group of galaxies. This pan sequence, based on a Very Large Telescope (VLT) survey image, shows the central part of the cluster in great detail. The field includes the elegant barred-spiral galaxy NGC 1365 and the big elliptical galaxy NGC 1399.
