split off galaxy groups[edit]

I've split off galaxy groups to the list of galaxy clusters because they are not galaxies, they are galaxy groups, which is a type of galaxy cluster.

Here's the content I split:

Named Groups

Markarian's Chain is a stretch of galaxies that forms part of the Virgo Cluster.
Robert's Quartet is a compact group of four galaxies approximately 160 million light-years away in the constellation Phoenix.
Seyfert's Sextet is a group of about six galaxies 190 million light-years away in the constellation Serpens Caput.
Stephan's Quintet, containing five galaxies, is the first compact group of galaxies discovered.

If this list is renamed list of galaxies, clusters and superclusters named after people that list can be restored.

If it were to be renamed thusly, then the Shapley Supercluster can be added to the list, or rather, a new list, as a named supercluster.

Komossa's object[edit]

Komossa's object is a redirect to the article RX J1242−11, which doesn't claim the name is Komossa's object. Threre is no reference to support the claim that in fact this galaxy is named "Komossa's object". Avram25 (talk) 03:47, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
