About the Pavo–Indus Supercluster
The light we see from it set out 0.21 billion years ago, when the universe was 13.6 billion years old (redshift 0.01472).
The map lists it as a supercluster and shows it at the scale of the large-scale universe, drawn on the supergalactic plane.
Its distance or nature is debated, and the map shows one published value.
Position approximate.
Key numbers
