However, as is very often the case, the wikipedia entry was obviously written by someone who slavishly copies incorrect or out-of-date information.
In fact, closer than the Antlia cluster, there is also a third major cluster of galaxies, which is highly obscured because it is behind the Puppis Milky Way.
[[ Also, arguably, a nearby Poor Galaxy Cluster (or possibly a rich galaxy group) is the Ursa Major Cluster.]]

This is very interesting Robert. Can you mention a better info source than wikipedia in order to get more accurate info in the future?
