Norma Cluster

Abell 3627, a massive cluster ~220 million light-years away in the southern constellation Norma. Heavily obscured by the Milky Way's disc, which delayed its discovery until the late 1990s. Identified as a central component of the Great Attractor — the gravitational anomaly toward which the Local Group is moving at ~600 km/s.
