The Virgo III Groups, or Virgo III Cloud, are a series of at least 75 galactic clusters and individual galaxies stretching approximately 40 megalight-years (12,264,055.75 parsecs) off the eastern edge of the Virgo Supercluster.[1][2][3] Parts of it are in the constellations Virgo, Libra, and Serpens Caput. It is located approximately 65 Mly (19,929,090.60 pc) to 85 Mly (26,061,118.47 pc) from the Solar System, at a right ascension of 13h 30m to 15h 20m .[1]
