Supergalactic coordinate system information


Galaxies and galaxy clusters < 50 Mly away from Earth plotted in the supergalactic plane

The supergalactic plane is part of a reference frame for the supercluster of galaxies that contains the Milky Way galaxy.

The supergalactic plane, as so-far observed, is more or less perpendicular to the plane of the Milky Way; the angle is 84.5°. As viewed from Earth, the plane traces a great circle across the sky through the following constellations:

  • Cassiopeia (in the Milky Way galactic plane)
  • Camelopardalis
  • Ursa Major
  • Coma Berenices (near the Milky Way galactic north pole)
  • Virgo
  • Centaurus
  • Circinus (in the galactic plane)
  • Triangulum Australe
  • Pavo
  • Indus
  • Grus
  • Sculptor (near the galactic south pole)
  • Cetus
  • Pisces
  • Andromeda
  • Perseus
