Summary

Description
English: In this video, the dominant rich galaxy clusters (the "A" prefix refers to a cluster's number in George Abell's catalog of rich galaxy clusters) in a supercluster are used as surrogates to mark the location of the supercluster. The second grid above the base grid is the actual supergalactic plane. The base grid parallels the supergalactic plane, and lies 198 million light years below the actual supergalactic plane. The image painted on the base grid is the relevant 885 Mly x 885 Mly section of the CosmicFlows map of the Laniakea Supercluster region. The CosmicFlows image is projected down from the supergalactic plane (the upper grid) onto the base grid. The axis in the grid labeled "To Virgo Cluster" points along the direction of the Sun towards the Virgo Cluster.

This image could be re-created using 3D models as an STL file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an STL form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{3D version available|new image name}}.
It is recommended to name the STL file "Nearby Superclusters.stl" – then the template 3D version available (or 3Dva) does not need the new image name parameter.
