Galaxy groups and clusters are the largest
gravitationally-bound objects. They form the densest part of the
large scale structure of the Universe. In models for the gravitational formation of structure with
cold dark matter, the smallest structures collapse first and eventually build the largest structures, clusters of galaxies. Clusters are then formed relatively recently between 10 billion years ago and now. Groups and clusters may contain from ten to thousands of galaxies. The clusters themselves are often associated with larger groups called
superclusters.
