The Hercules Cluster is situated approximately 500 million light-years away. It is an archipelago of island universes. The Hercules Cluster can also be referred to as Abell 2151. It is high in gas and dust, which are the ingredients for forming stars. This produces spiral galaxies. On the other hand, elliptical galaxies are sparse because there is not enough gas and dust to create them. In this image, the blue color represents the new forming galaxies, and the yellow color depicts the aging galaxies. The cluster center's size represents the actual size of about 6 million light-years. Cluster galaxies interact and therefore some seem to be impacting one another. An example for this would be the Hercules Cluster, which is effected by smaller galaxy clusters.
Galaxies in the Hercules Cluster contain metal elements. These are seen from emission spectroscopy lines.
