Abell 2029 or A2029 is a large cluster of galaxies 315 megaparsecs (1,027 million light-years) away in the constellation Virgo.[5] A2029 is a Bautz-Morgan classification type I cluster due to its large central galaxy, IC 1101. This type of galaxy is called a cD-type brightest cluster galaxy and may have grown to its large size by accreting nearby galaxies.
