From Wikipedia
The Phoenix Cluster is a supermassive, Abell-class type I galaxy cluster located at its namesake, southern constellation of Phoenix. It was initially detected in 2010 during a 2,500-square-degree survey of the southern sky using the Sunyaev–Zeldovich effect by the South Pole Telescope collaboration.
