==Notable galaxy clusters== [[File:07-Laniakea_(LofE07240).png|thumb|The [[Laniakea supercluster]] with many [[galaxy clusters]]]] {{Main|List of galaxy groups and clusters}}Notable galaxy clusters in the relatively nearby universe include the [[Virgo Cluster]], [[Fornax Cluster]], [[Hercules Cluster]], and the [[Coma Cluster]]. A very large aggregation of galaxies known as the [[Great Attractor]], dominated by the [[Norma Cluster]], is massive enough to affect the [[Hubble's law|local expansion of the Universe]]. Notable galaxy clusters in the distant, high-redshift universe include [[SPT-CL J0546-5345]] and [[SPT-CL J2106-5844]], the most massive galaxy clusters found in the early Universe. In the last few decades, they are also found to be relevant sites of particle acceleration, a feature that has been discovered by observing non-thermal diffuse radio emissions, such as [[radio halo]]s and [[radio relics]]. Using the [[Chandra X-ray Observatory]], structures such as cold fronts and [[shock waves in astrophysics|shock waves]] have also been found in many galaxy clusters. {|class=wikitable |+ |- <!-- this serves as a summary style presentation of the list article; and to prevent an empty section from appearing --> !| Cluster !| Notes |- || [[Virgo Cluster]] || The nearest massive galaxy cluster |- || [[Norma Cluster]] || The cluster at the heart of the [[Great Attractor]] |- || [[Bullet Cluster]] || A cluster merger with the first observed separation between dark matter and normal matter |-class=sortbottom |colspan=99| {{small| This lists some of the most notable clusters; for more clusters, see the list article. }} |- |}
