Open in 3DWhat it is
A sheet of galaxies about 500 million light-years long, found by the CfA2 redshift survey in 1989, one of the first great walls mapped. It runs through the Coma Cluster, where it is placed here.
Placed by its redshift, at the distance the expansion has carried it to by now; the dots around it are galaxies of the 2MASS and SDSS surveys, placed the same way.
