What it is

One of the two largest structures near us, a chain of clusters across the northern sky from Pisces to Perseus, across the sky from the Great Attractor.

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.
