Galaxy Superclusters are the largest gravitationally-interacting structures we know of, and our observable universe may contain as many as 10 million, each hosting thousands of constituent galaxies. The farthest of these that we've ever found is the Hyperion Proto-Supercluster, a galactic city 5,000 times heavier than the Milky Way, under construction when the universe was just a fifth off its current age. This structure may today have evolved into a galaxy filament like the Sloan Great Wall or Virgo Supercluster, and also may contain a substantial reservoir of dark matter.

Quasars are the brightest phenomenon in the entire universe, able to outshine any type of star, and even entire galaxies containing hundreds of billions of them. Quasars are the product of monster black holes at the centres of large galaxies, and so when we find multi-billion light year clusters of quasars dotted around the early universe, we are forced to reconsider some of our fundamental assumptions of cosmology.
