Above is a partial map of the Virgo
Cluster, which is filled with galaxies. The blue boxes show some of
the locations where I have looked for intracluster planetary nebulae, stars
that have been removed from the galaxies where they were formed, and now
roam around in the cluster.
This data was taken with the 4 meter telescope at Kitt
Peak National Observatory . If you are interested in related research,
