Redirected from Local supercluster
By tracking its gravitational effect on the movement of galaxies, one can estimate that the total mass of the Virgo Supercluster is about 1015 solar masses (see 1 E45 kg[?] for a list of comparable masses). As its luminosity is far too small for this number of stars, it is thought that a large part of its mass is dark matter.
