Indian team finds galaxy supercluster, names it 'Saraswati'

Astronomers at Pune-based IUCAA and IISER have discovered a supercluster of galaxies, which they named 'Saraswati'. A cluster could have galaxies ranging from 1,000 to 10,000, however, a supercluster could have clusters ranging from 40 to 43, researchers said. The Saraswati supercluster, 4 billion light-years away, may be more massive than 20,000 trillion Suns, they added.
