The Perseus–Pisces Supercluster is one of two dominant concentrations of galaxies (the other being the Local supercluster) in the nearby universe (within 300 million light years). This supercluster also borders a prominent void, the Taurus Void, and is part of the Perseus–Pegasus Filament which stretches for roughly a billion light years. [1]
Perseus–Pegasus Filament (1985) 1,000,000,000: This galaxy filament contains the Perseus–Pisces Supercluster. Pisces–Cetus Supercluster Complex (1987) 1,000,000,000: Contains the Milky Way, and is the first galaxy filament to be discovered. (The first LQG was found earlier in 1982.) A new report in 2014 confirms the Milky Way as a member ...

NGC 1193 is an open cluster in the Perseus constellation. [1] It was first observed and catalogued by astronomer William Herschel in 1786. [ 3 ] The cluster is estimated to be approximately 4.2 billion years old.
NGC 1275 (also known as Perseus A or Caldwell 24) is a type 1.5 Seyfert galaxy [3] located around 237 million light-years away [2] in the direction of the constellation Perseus. NGC 1275 is a member of the large Perseus Cluster of galaxies.
The Perseus–Pegasus Filament is a galaxy filament containing the Perseus–Pisces Supercluster and stretching for roughly a billion light-years (or over 300/h Mpc). Currently, it is considered to be one of the largest known structures in the universe. [note 1] This filament is adjacent to the Pisces–Cetus Supercluster Complex.
The Southern Supercluster Srand extends all the way to the Perseus–Pisces Supercluster. [7] [12] The Southern Supercluster which is part of the Southern Supercluster Strand, along with the Centaurus–Puppis–PP filament, which contains the Antila Wall and both extend to the Perseus–Pisces Supercluster, form a wall bounding the Sculptor ...
NGC 1220 is a young compact open cluster in the constellation Perseus. It was discovered by John Herschel in 1831. [5] The cluster is located at l = 143.04°, b = −3.96° in the galactic coordinate system, and is 120 parsecs above the galactic plane. [1] [2] It is approximately 6 m 42 s east and 10′ 12″ south from the nearest visible star ...
