A supercluster is a large group of smaller galaxy clusters or galaxy groups; [1] they are among the largest known structures in the universe.
The Saraswati Supercluster consists of 43 massive galaxy clusters, which include Abell 2361 and ZWCl 2341.1+0000. Boötes Supercluster: 620,000,000: Horologium-Reticulum Supercluster (2005) 550,000,000: Also known as the Horologium Supercluster. Laniakea Supercluster (2014) 520,000,000: Galaxy supercluster in which Earth is located.
The Laniakea Supercluster (/ ˌ l ɑː n i. ə ˈ k eɪ. ə /; Hawaiian for "open skies" or "immense heaven") [2] or the Local Supercluster (LSC or LS) is the galaxy supercluster that is home to the Milky Way and approximately 100,000 other nearby galaxies.
The Local Supercluster (LSC or LS), or Virgo Supercluster is a formerly defined supercluster containing the Virgo Cluster and Local Group, which itself contains the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies, as well as others.
The Shapley Supercluster or Shapley Concentration (SCl 124) is the largest concentration of galaxies in our nearby universe that forms a gravitationally interacting ...
The question of whether the supercluster complex is moving together or being slowly separated by the expanding universe is a key factor to this discussion. [2] Nevertheless, when compared to several other chain structures, such as the Sloan Great Wall , the BOSS Great Wall's superclusters are far richer, containing more dense, high stellar mass ...
The Southern Supercluster Strand is a galaxy filament that incompasses the Southern Supercluster and the Telescopium−Grus Cloud. [1]In 2014, it was announced that the Southern Supercluster Strand is a lobe in a greater supercluster, Laniakea, that is centered on the Great Attractor. [2]
The Horologium-Reticulum Supercluster, is a massive supercluster spanning around 550 million light-years. [1] It has a mass of around 10 17 solar masses, similar to that of the Laniakea Supercluster, which houses the Milky Way. It is centered on coordinates right ascension 03 h 19 m and declination −50° 02′, and spans an angular area of 12 ...
