The Hyperion Supercluster
Scientists have uncovered a gigantic network made up of stars linked together in galaxies, galaxies bound in groups and groups forming networks called galaxy clusters. We call the network a "supercluster" and the one shown in this picture is the largest structure ever found at so far from Earth. This supercluster has been nicknamed "Hyperion".
