More info added
Added info about EIGs in and near the Leo cluster from a scholarly source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jordyb1999 (talk • contribs) 20:50, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

New info added
New info pertaining to redshifted galaxies within the Leo Cluster was added from a peer reviewed scholarly article found via the PVCC library. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jordyb1999 (talk • contribs) 19:38, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

I made an edit
If anyone more versed than I would like to make further adjustments they can totally feel free to add a citation to the change I made to the brightest member information and move where I put the photo of this cluster. The url for the information about the cluster's brightest member is https://www.noao.edu/image_gallery/html/im0639.html I was familiar with how to make a citation in general, but getting it into the little separate box that holds all that information was not something I was able to figure out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MasonRC (talk • contribs) 05:39, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Including M105 here is actually wrong. This galaxy is not part of the Leo Cluster but part of the Leo I Group (or M96 Group), which in turn is part of the Local Supercluster. The difference is huge, since the Leo Cluster is 113 Mpc (368.6 Mly) away, while the Leo I Group is only 11.3 Mpc (37 Mly) away, or just nearby. Proximity is also the reason for the high brightness of its members.--Bobbylon (talk) 07:54, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

My plans for edits
I plan to add further information based on recent articles published by scholarly sources such as scientific journals. I also plan to add a wider variety of images such as the following http://www.atlasoftheuniverse.com/superc/leo.gif — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jordyb1999 (talk • contribs) 19:50, 23 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Hello- I see that you're working on this article as part of a class, which is great, but a lot of the material that you've added isn't correct. It seems like you're mixing up the Leo Cluster, the Leo Group, and the Leo constellation. These are all different entities, with different wikipedia articles about them. Please take a closer look at the information that you've written and try to correct it if you can, otherwise someone else will probably revert the article back to the previous version sometime soon. Information about the Leo Group, stars of the Leo constellation, or the Leo I dwarf galaxy does not belong in this article and should be removed. Aldebarium (talk) 23:21, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

removed a lot of text
The majority of the text in this article was either factually incorrect or described objects that are in the Leo constellation but not part of the Leo Cluster. The image that was shown was an image of an unrelated field a few degrees away from the center of the Leo Cluster. I removed the image and removed text that was either incorrect or unrelated to the topic of the article. Aldebarium (talk) 16:32, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

It's good that you're editing this page to make it better, but please stop adding incorrect information about the Leo Cluster and stop adding information about objects like stars and other galaxies not related to the cluster. Also, please check your information and do your research correctly.--Fucherastonmeym87 (talk) 02:14, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi Jordyb1999- this is starting to look better now. One small piece of advice: it's not necessary to start a paragraph with a statement like "A team of scientists decided to observe the Leo Cluster with the intention of...". If there's a notable scientific finding or discovery to describe, you can just describe what the scientific finding was. Pretty much every astronomical observation starts with astronomers deciding to observe something, so that aspect of the process doesn't need to be mentioned specifically in an encyclopedia article: just focus on the essential information about the astronomical object that you're describing. There are still some other details of the text that could be improved in terms of scientific accuracy, but it looks like you're on the right track now. It would be nice to find an image of the core region of the Leo cluster too. I removed the image that was in the article previously because it was an image of a different field on the sky.
