…clusters", or clusters of clusters. They have been also called extensions or concentrations. Superclusters form massive structures of galaxies, called "filaments", "supercluster complexes", "hyperclusters", "chains", "strands", "superstructures", "walls" or "sheets", that may span between several hundred million…
