Pisces–Cetus Supercluster Complex

The Pisces–Cetus Supercluster Complex (Pisces–Cetus SCC) or the local superstructure is a galaxy supercluster complex (SCC) that includes the Virgo Supercluster as its outlying member (later confirmed to be part of the Laniakea supercluster), which in turn contains the Local Group and thus the Milky Way. The complex was named after the Pisces–Cetus Superclusters, its richest and most prominent members, which reside in its core and main plane, located at roughly 200 megaparsecs (652 million light-years; 6.17×1021 kilometres) away from Earth.
