galaxy filament
thread-like structures that form the boundaries between large voids in the universe
Sloan Great Wall
one of the largest known structures in the universe
Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall
galaxy filament and the largest known structure in the universe
CfA2 Great Wall
one of the largest known superstructures in the Universe
Pisces–Cetus Supercluster Complex
a galaxy filament: largest known structures in universe: massive, thread-like formations
large quasar group
large astronomical structure
Huge-LQG
The Huge Large Quasar Group, (Huge-LQG, also called U1.27) is a possible structure or pseudo-structure of 73 quasars, referred to as a large quasar group, that measures about 4 billion light-years across. At its discovery, it was identified as the largest and the most massive known structure in the observable universe, though it has been superseded by the Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall at 10 billion light-years. Its existence has been disputed.
Sculptor Wall
a superstructure of galaxies ("wall of galaxies") relatively near to the MWG
BOSS Great Wall
the largest known galaxy wall
South Pole Wall
structure stretching 1.4 billion light-years across
Clowes–Campusano LQG
large quasar group consisting of 34 quasars
Perseus–Pegasus Filament
galaxy filament containing the Perseus-Pisces Supercluster
Giant Arc
arrangement consists of galaxies, galactic clusters, and lots of gas and dust
U1.11
U1.11 is a large quasar group located in the constellations of Leo and Virgo. It is one of the largest LQG's known, with the estimated maximum diameter of 780 Mpc (2.2 billion light-years) and contains 38 quasars. It was discovered in 2011 during the course of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Until the discovery of the Huge-LQG in November 2012, it was the largest known structure in the universe, beating Clowes–Campusano LQG's 20-year record as largest known structure at the time of its discovery.
