Markarian Galaxy
Chain |
M84 and M86 |
A curving "chain"
of galaxies closely grouped. They may have no physical
connection with each other. |
The more prominent galaxies are
labeled in this image. |
Markarian's Chain
is in the central region of the Virgo Galaxy Cluster
centered around M84 and M86. Only a portion of the chain
is shown here on this Meade 8-in f/4 LXD75 image with a
Canon 20Da camera. |
