Draft:Giant Coma Stream

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Giant Coma Stream is a stellar stream found in intergalactic space within the Coma Cluster. Unlike most known stellar streams, it is not associated with any individual galaxy. As of 2023 it is the longest known such stream found, and unusually is found in intergalactic space, instead of orbiting another galaxy.
