The Perseus–Pisces Supercluster is one of two dominant concentrations of galaxies (the other being the Local supercluster) in the nearby universe (within 300 million light years). This supercluster also borders a prominent void, the Taurus Void, and is part of the Perseus–Pegasus Filament which stretches for roughly a billion light years. [1]
Perseus–Pegasus Filament (1985) 1,000,000,000: This galaxy filament contains the Perseus–Pisces Supercluster. Pisces–Cetus Supercluster Complex (1987) 1,000,000,000: Contains the Milky Way, and is the first galaxy filament to be discovered. (The first LQG was found earlier in 1982.) A new report in 2014 confirms the Milky Way as a member ...
The Perseus cluster (Abell 426) is a cluster of galaxies in the constellation Perseus. It has a recession speed of 5,366 km/ s and a diameter of 863 ′ . [ 1 ] It is one of the most massive objects in the known universe , containing thousands of galaxies immersed in a vast cloud of multimillion-degree gas.
Mean distance Dimension Notes Clowes–Campusano LQG (U1.28, CCLQG) 1991 z=1.28 longest dimension: 630 Mpc; It was the largest known structure in the universe from 1991 to 2011, until U1.11's discovery. U1.11: 2011 z=1.11 longest dimension: 780 Mpc; Was the largest known structure in the universe for a few months, until Huge-LQG's discovery ...
The Perseus–Pegasus Filament is a galaxy filament containing the Perseus–Pisces Supercluster and stretching for roughly a billion light-years (or over 300/h Mpc). Currently, it is considered to be one of the largest known structures in the universe. [note 1] This filament is adjacent to the Pisces–Cetus Supercluster Complex. [1] [2]
Notes Einasto Supercluster z = ~0.25 (3 billion light years ) Length = 360 million light years; Mass = 2.6 × 10 16 solar masses; Discovered in 2023 by analyzing Sloan Digital Sky Survey images. Claimed to be the most massive galaxy supercluster discovered so far. [8] [9] King Ghidorah Supercluster z = 0.50-0.64; Mass = 1 × 10 16 solar masses
NGC 1272 is a massive [2] elliptical galaxy [3] located about 230 million light-years away [4] in the constellation Perseus. [5] It was discovered by astronomer Heinrich d'Arrest on February 14, 1863. [6] NGC 1272 has an active nucleus and is the second brightest [2] member of the Perseus Cluster [7] [6] after NGC 1275.
