The Corona Borealis Supercluster is a supercluster located in the constellation Corona Borealis and the most prominent example of its kind in the Northern Celestial Hemisphere.^[3] Dense and compact compared with other superclusters, its mass has been calculated to lie somewhere between 0.6 and 12 × 10¹⁶ solar masses (M⊙). It contains the galaxy clusters Abell 2056, Abell 2061, Abell 2065 (the most massive galaxy cluster within the supercluster), Abell 2067, Abell 2079, Abell 2089, and Abell 2092. Of these, Abell 2056, 2061, 2065, 2067 and A2089 are gravitationally bound and in the process of collapsing to form a massive cluster.^[2] This entity has an estimated mass of around 1 × 10¹⁶ M⊙. If there is inter-cluster mass present, then Abell 2092 may also be involved.^[2] It has been estimated to be 100 megaparsecs (330 million light-years) wide and 40 megaparsecs (130 million light years) deep.^[3] It has a redshift of 0.07,^[1] which is equivalent to a distance of around 265.5 megaparsecs (964 million light-years).
