Virgo Supercluster

This article needs attention from an expert in Astronomy. The specific problem is: Internal contradiction(s), multiple unsourced statements, possibly a mass problem.. See the talk page for details. WikiProject Astronomy may be able to help recruit an expert. (March 2025)

The Local Supercluster (LSC or LS), or Virgo Supercluster is a formerly defined supercluster containing the Virgo Cluster and Local Group, which itself contains the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies, as well as others. At least 100 galaxy groups and clusters are located within its diameter of 33 megaparsecs (110 million light-years). The Virgo Supercluster is one of about 10 million superclusters in the observable universe and is in the Pisces–Cetus Supercluster Complex, a galaxy filament.^{[citation needed]}

A 2014 study indicates that the Local Supercluster is only a part of an even greater supercluster, Laniakea, a larger group centered on the Great Attractor,^[2] thus subsuming the former Virgo Supercluster under Laniakea.
