ABSTRACT Recent observations indicate that most galaxies are concentrated in superclusters consisting of galaxies, and clusters of galaxies, aligned along strings. Giant volumes exist

between superclusters which are almost empty of visible objects. Theories of galaxy formation predict the formation of non-spherical superclusters and giant voids. Large-scale structure

changes very slowly, so the currently observed structure reflects the whole history of galaxy formation and structural evolution. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a
