#HerculesCluster

2025-08-20

One of my high points from #BernieReim's #Astronomy lab... He appreciated my methodology!

"Almost finished with this week's Astronomy homework. Managed to calculate the distance to the #HerculesCluster to within 100 million light years! I came up with 410 million LY using a old photograph from the 1950's (Palomar Survey) and a ruler, whereas the actual estimated distance - using modern methods - is 500 million LY!"
