#Supercluster ... obviously 'a group of Galaxy #Clusters or -Groups'---sad, that #Cluster is now slang for ... something else ...

'That word' (below-hyperlinked to a post about 'the Composition of things') is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...

The word “Supercluster (Cluster)” is built on words that mean “a number of |Things, Persons or |Animals-Growing Naturally Together or -|Gathered in a |Close Body” (same Foundation as |Clot).

List of superclusters
Galaxy superclusterDataNotes
Laniakea Supercluster
  • z = 0.000
  • Length = 153 Mpc (500 million light-years)
The Laniakea Supercluster is the supercluster that contains the Virgo ClusterLocal Group, and by extension on the latter, our galaxy; the Milky Way.[2]
Virgo Supercluster
  • z= 0.000
  • Length = 33 Mpc (110 million light-years)
It contains the Local Group with our galaxy, the Milky Way. It also contains the Virgo Cluster near its center, and is sometimes called the Local Supercluster. It is thought to contain over 47,000 galaxies.
In 2014, the newly announced Laniakea Supercluster subsumed the Virgo Supercluster, which became a component of the new supercluster.[8]
Hydra-Centaurus SuperclusterIt is composed of two lobes, sometimes also referred to as superclusters, or sometimes the entire supercluster is referred to by these other two names
  • Hydra Supercluster
  • Centaurus Supercluster
In 2014, the newly announced Laniakea Supercluster subsumed the Hydra-Centaurus Supercluster, which became a component of the new supercluster.[8]
Pavo-Indus Supercluster
In 2014, the newly announced Laniakea Supercluster subsumed the Pavo-Indus Supercluster, which became a component of the new supercluster.[8]
Southern Supercluster
Includes Fornax Cluster (S373), Dorado and Eridanus clouds.
Saraswati SuperclusterDistance = 4000 Million light years (1.2 Gpc)
Length = 652 Million light-years
The Saraswati Supercluster consists of 43 massive galaxy clusters such as Abell 2361 and has a mass of about 2 x 1016 M and is seen in the Pisces constellation

Ophiuchus Supercluster
  •  17h 10m−22°
  • cz=8500–9000 km/s (centre)
  • 18 Mpc x 26 Mpc
Forming the far wall of the Ophiuchus Void, it may be connected in a filament, with the Pavo-Indus-Telescopium Supercluster and the Hercules Supercluster. This supercluster is centered on the cD cluster Ophiuchus Cluster, and has at least two more galaxy clusters, four more galaxy groups, several field galaxies, as members.[9]
Shapley Supercluster
  • z=0.046.(650 Mly away)
The second supercluster found, after the Local Supercluster.

Galaxy superclusterDataNotes
Hyperion proto-superclusterz=2.45This supercluster at the time of its discovery in 2018 was the earliest and largest proto-supercluster found to date.[11][12]
Lynx Superclusterz=1.27Discovered in 1999[13] (as ClG J0848+4453, a name now used to describe the western cluster, with ClG J0849+4452 being the eastern one),[14] it contains at least two clusters RXJ 0848.9+4452 (z=1.26) and RXJ 0848.6+4453 (z=1.27) . At the time of discovery, it became the most distant known supercluster.[15] Additionally, seven smaller groups of galaxies are associated with the supercluster.[16]
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. The size discovered approaches the size of the CfA2 Great Wallfilament. At the time of the discovery, it was the largest and most distant supercluster beyond z=0.5 [17][18]
SCL @ 1604+43 at z=0.9z=0.91This supercluster at the time of its discovery was the largest supercluster found so deep into space, in 2000. It consisted of two known rich clusters and one newly discovered cluster as a result of the study that discovered it. The then known clusters were Cl 1604+4304 (z=0.897) and Cl 1604+4321(z=0.924), which then known to have 21 and 42 known galaxies respectively. The then newly discovered cluster was located at  16h 04m 25.7s, +43° 14′ 44.7″[19]
SCL @ 0018+16 at z=0.54 in SA26z=0.54This supercluster lies around radio galaxy 54W084C (z=0.544) and is composed of at least three large clusters, CL 0016+16 (z=0.5455), RX J0018.3+1618 (z=0.5506), RX J0018.8+1602 .[20]
MS 0302+17
z=0.42
Length=6Mpc
This supercluster has at least three member clusters, the eastern cluster CL 0303+1706, southern cluster MS 0302+1659 and northern cluster MS 0302+1717.[21]


Or am I looking at that wrong (or 'wrongly' 🤓)? Tell
