Original file ‎(23,624 × 2,953 pixels, file size: 21.26 MB, MIME type: image/jpeg)

The image contains one or several undisputed inaccuracies. It should not be used to illustrate or provide information about the subject, but may be kept in order to provide the basis for a corrected image. If you disagree that it may be useful for this purpose feel free to request deletion.
Reason: "Intersteller" misspelling; Local Galactic Group should be either pointed to or highlighted in red in the "Virgo Supercluster" part of the image; should be space instead of hyphen in "Corona-Borealis Supercluster" in the "Local Superclusters" section; "(Virgo Supercluster)" should be removed in the last section of the image; should be en-dashes instead of hyphens in most, if not all, instances
See the talk page for further information.
