    <subject>Cluster of Galaxies</subject>
    <description>
      The ZWCLUSTERS database is based upon the Catalogue of Zwicky Clusters of Galaxies. The Zwicky clusters were identified by F. Zwicky in 560 POSS fields. They are rich clusters, each having at least 50 members within 3 magnitudes of the brightest member. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
