The edges of the superclusters and Laniakea were not clearly known at the time of Laniakea's definition. [6] Since then, the study of the edges of the supercluster and of structures beyond them has substantially improved. [15] [16] Laniakea is itself a constituent part of the Pisces–Cetus Supercluster Complex, a galaxy filament.

The Pisces–Cetus Supercluster Complex is estimated to be about 1.0 billion light-years (Gly) long and 150 million light years (Mly) wide. It is one of the largest structures known in the observable universe, but is exceeded by the Sloan Great Wall (1.3 Gly), Clowes–Campusano LQG (2.0 Gly), U1.11 LQG (2.5 Gly), Huge-LQG (4.0 Gly), and Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall (10 Gly ...
In 2014, it was announced that the Southern Supercluster Strand is a lobe in a greater supercluster, Laniakea, that is centered on the Great Attractor. [8] This would mean that the Southern Supercluster Strand 's components, the Southern Supercluster and the Telescopium−Grus Cloud [ 7 ] would be part of this new supercluster.
The proposed Laniakea Supercluster is defined as the Great Attractor's basin. It covers approximately four main galaxy superclusters, including superclusters of Virgo and Hydra–Centaurus, and spans across 500 million light years. Because it is not dense enough to be gravitationally bound, it should be dispersing as the universe expands, but ...

The current image at the top of the article, File:Laniakea.png, contains annotations in Spanish. I think this should be changed to English. I think this should be changed to English. Second, the colors chosen for the letters in the image make some of the annotations very hard to decipher (at least for me, the red letters are barely readable).
