Super clusters are large groupings of smaller [[galaxy]] groups and clusters, and are among the largest structures of the [[cosmos]]. The existence of superclusters indicates that the galaxies in our Universe are not uniformly distributed; most of them are drawn together in groups and clusters, with groups containing up to 50 galaxies and clusters up to several thousand. Those groups and clusters and additional isolated galaxies in turn form even larger structures called superclusters.

No clusters of super clusters are known, but the existence of structures larger than superclusters is debated (see [[Galaxy filament]]). Interspersed among super clusters are large voids of space in which few galaxies exist. Even though superclusters are the largest structures confirmed, the total number of superclusters leaves possibilities for structural distribution; the total number of super clusters in the universe is believed to be close to 10 million.

Super clusters are frequently subdivided into groups of clusters called galaxy clouds. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercluster]
