Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day shows a cluster of galaxies, Messier 86 (also known as The Eyes Galaxies and Arp 120), in a larger cluster of galaxies, the Virgo Cluster, and part of Markarian's Chain of galaxies. What is in the image, ghostlike? Is it a bridge between two of the galaxies?
"Mouseover" the image in the link for a guide to the objects in the picture. This is also an area worth exploring, from binoculars to larger low power/rich field telescopes. Just wander around and look what you can find!
