A projection of the South Pole Wall in celestial coordinates. The South Pole Wall (SPW or The South Pole Wall) is a massive cosmic structure formed by a giant wall of galaxies (a galaxy filament) that extends across at least 1.37 billion light-years of space, the nearest light (and consequently part) [a] of which is aged about half a billion light-years.
This is a list of the largest cosmic structures so far discovered. The unit of measurement used is the light-year (distance traveled by light in one Julian year; approximately 9.46 trillion kilometres).

The Sloan Great Wall is between 1.8–2.7 times longer than the CfA2 Great Wall of galaxies (discovered by Margaret Geller and John Huchra of Harvard University in 1989). [2] It also contains several galactic superclusters, the largest and richest of which is named SCl 126. This is located in the highest density region of the structure.
The Moon as seen by an observer from Earth. It is claimed as private property by several individuals. [1] [2]Extraterrestrial real estate refers to claims of land ownership on other planets, natural satellites, or parts of space by certain organizations or individuals.
The following is a list of neighborhoods and communities located in the city of San Diego. The City of San Diego Planning Department officially lists 52 Community Planning Areas within the city, [ 1 ] many of which consist of multiple different neighborhoods.
The Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall (HCB) [1] [5] or simply the Great Wall [6] is a galaxy filament that is the largest known structure in the observable universe, measuring approximately 10 billion light-years in length (the observable universe is about 93 billion light-years in diameter).
The CfA2 Great Wall has the maximum dimensions of either 500 million or 750 million light years depending on the figure and the reference used. [citation needed] It is 200 million light years in width and about 16 million light years in thickness. Its nearest point is about 300 million light years from Earth, while its furthest point is 550 ...
