      Explanation: Named for the southern constellation toward which most of   
      its galaxies can be found, the Fornax Cluster is one of the closest   
      clusters of galaxies. About 62 million light-years away, it's over 20   
      times more distant than our neighboring Andromeda Galaxy, but only   
      about 10 percent farther along than the better known and more populated   
      Virgo Galaxy Cluster. Seen across this three degree wide field-of-view,   
      almost every yellowish splotch on the image is an elliptical galaxy in   
      the Fornax cluster. Elliptical galaxies NGC 1399 and NGC 1404 are the   
      dominant, bright cluster members toward the bottom center. A standout,   
      large barred spiral galaxy, NGC 1365, is visible on the upper right as   
      a prominent Fornax cluster member.
