Holmberg 15a Holmberg 15A is a supergiant elliptical galaxy and the central dominant galaxy of the Abell 85 galaxy cluster in the constellation Cetus, about 700 million light-years from Earth. It was discovered c. 1937 by Erik Holmberg.[1] It is notable for having the largest core ever observed in a galaxy, spanning 15,000 light years.[1]

The giant void The Giant Void (also known as the Giant Void in NGH, Canes Venatici Supervoid, and AR-Lp 36) is an extremely huge region of space of underdensity of galaxies within the constellation Canes Venatici. It is the largest confirmed void to date, with an estimated diameter of 300 to 400 Mpc (1 to 1.3 billion light years)[1] and is approximately 1.5 billion light years away (z = 0.116).[1] It was discovered in 1988,[2] and was the largest void in the Northern Galactic Hemisphere,[1] and possibly the largest ever detected

UY scuti UY Scuti The Sun They determined that the stars are 1,000 times bigger than the Sun UY Scuti The Sun UY Scuti is a bright red supergiant and pulsating variable star in the constellation Scutum.

Ic 1101 IC 1101 is a supergiant elliptical galaxy at the center of the abell 2029 galaxy cluster, approximately 320 megaparsecs (1.04 billion light-years) from Earth.[1]
