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]
NGC 1259 is a lenticular galaxy [2] located about 243 million light-years away [3] in the constellation Perseus. [4] The galaxy was discovered by astronomer Guillaume Bigourdan on October 21, 1884 [5] and is a member of the Perseus Cluster. [6] [5] A type Ia supernova designated as SN 2008L was discovered in NGC 1259 on January 14, 2008. [7] [8 ...
NGC 1528 is an open cluster in the constellation Perseus. It was discovered by William Herschel in 1790. It is located in the north-eastern part of the constellation, just under 3 degrees north of μ Persei. Less than 1.5° to the southeast is the open cluster NGC 1545 (m = 6.2).

NGC 1281 is a compact [3] elliptical galaxy [4] located about 200 million light-years away [3] in the constellation Perseus. [5] NGC 1281 was discovered by astronomer John Dreyer on December 12, 1876. [6]
NGC 1283 is an elliptical galaxy [2] located about 250 million light-years away [3] in the constellation Perseus. [4] The galaxy was discovered by astronomer Guillaume Bigourdan on October 23, 1884 [5] and is a member of the Perseus Cluster. [6] [5] It also contains an active galactic nucleus. [7]
NGC 1279 is a lenticular galaxy estimated to be 324 million light-years away from the Milky Way [3] in the constellation Perseus. [4] It has diameter of about 110,000 ly, [3] and is a member of the Perseus Cluster. [5] [6] It was discovered on December 12, 1876, by astronomer John Louis Emil Dreyer. [6]
SCL @ 1338+27 at z=1.1 z=1.1 Length=70Mpc A rich supercluster with several galaxy clusters was discovered around an unusual concentration of 23 QSOs at z=1.1 in 2001. The size of the complex of clusters may indicate a wall of galaxies exists there, instead of a single supercluster.
