It's the supercluster that contains our own galaxy (the Milky Way) and the Andromeda Galaxy. The Supercluster consists of two components: disk component and halo component. It has a diameter of 200 million light years and contains about 100 groups and clusters of galaxies. (Is this too much information overload?)
