Difference between Cosmic distance ladder and Galaxy cluster

Cosmic distance ladder vs. Galaxy cluster

The cosmic distance ladder (also known as the extragalactic distance scale) is the succession of methods by which astronomers determine the distances to celestial objects. A galaxy cluster, or cluster of galaxies, is a structure that consists of anywhere from hundreds to thousands of galaxies that are bound together by gravity with typical masses ranging from 1014–1015 solar masses.

Similarities between Cosmic distance ladder and Galaxy cluster

Cosmic distance ladder and Galaxy cluster have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Globular cluster, Gravitational lens, Hubble's law, NASA, Open cluster, Star cluster, Virgo Cluster.

Globular cluster

A globular cluster is a spherical collection of stars that orbits a galactic core as a satellite.

Gravitational lens

A gravitational lens is a distribution of matter (such as a cluster of galaxies) between a distant light source and an observer, that is capable of bending the light from the source as the light travels towards the observer.
