It has long been assumed that clusters of galaxies merge into a smooth “field” of isolated galaxies. Early estimates put 50% of all galaxies into the field. Using new redshift surveys over large areas we find the real distribution of galaxies to be very different. Nearly all galaxies are in clusters or groups covering a range of at least 1000 in mass and richness.
