Clusters of galaxies] or Galaxy clusters are joint collections of thousands of galaxies. It is assumed that these stars are hold in clusters by gravity. The sumed-up gravity of all these star objects in cluster is however regarded as inadequate to hold these stars together. That's why contemporary main stream scientists invoke the existence of mysterious dark matter to account for missing volume of gravity.[1]
