It used a new technique based on the flow of galaxies rather than just their positions to map the boundaries of this 500-million-light-year-wide structure. Discovery of a massive supercluster system at

(Einasto et al., 2018/2026): This series of studies examines the A2142 supercluster to show how superclusters act as "unique laboratories" for galaxy evolution. It provides evidence that these structures are actively collapsing even in the presence of dark energy. Super Cluster

(2024): This recent paper leverages a massive X-ray galaxy cluster sample to present the largest-ever catalog of X-ray superclusters, providing a vital tool for exploring the large-scale structure of the universe. (Tully et al

(Sankhyayan et al., 2023): A comprehensive modern effort to identify and characterize supercluster properties using the WHL cluster catalog and the SDSS, helping to refine the standard cosmological model ( Λcap lambda Key Facts about Superclusters: It provides evidence that these structures are actively
