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]
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.
NGC 1275 (also known as Perseus A or Caldwell 24) is a type 1.5 Seyfert galaxy [3] located around 237 million light-years away [2] in the direction of the constellation Perseus. NGC 1275 is a member of the large Perseus Cluster of galaxies.
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.

NGC 1294 is a lenticular galaxy located about 285 million light-years away [2] in the constellation Perseus. [3] The galaxy was discovered by astronomer William Herschel on October 17, 1786 [ 4 ] and is a member of the Perseus Cluster .
NGC 1245 is an open cluster in the constellation Perseus. It was discovered by William Herschel on 11 December 1786. [2] It is located 3° southwest of alpha Persei and can be spotted with 10x50 binoculars. [3] The cluster is nearly 1 billion years old. [4] NGC 1245 has about 200 members the brightest of which are of 12th magnitude. [5]
