About the Corona Borealis Supercluster
The light we see from it set out 0.975 billion years ago, when the universe was 12.8 billion years old (redshift 0.071).
The map lists it as a supercluster and shows it at the scale of the large-scale universe, drawn on the supergalactic plane.
Key numbers

From Wikipedia
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. Dense and compact compared with other superclusters, its mass has been calculated to lie somewhere between 0.6 and 12×1016 solar masses (M☉).
