Investigations of superclusters, organized structures composed of multiple clusters of galaxies, are traced, noting that regions of space have been observed which are as depleted of matter as the supercluster areas are matter-rich. Clustering was observed in the New General Catalog of 1888, and the Local Supercluster to which the Galaxy belongs was detected in 1922. The northern galactic hemisphere was discovered by Hubble to contain more bright galaxies than the southern hemisphere, and galaxies were divided into spiral, elliptical, and S0 classifications of shape. Clusters have been found to stay close to one another, and features of the Coma, the Hercules, and the Perseus superclusters are outlined. A presence of voids as an integral part of clustering and superclustering has been found, and it is mentioned that no empirical evidence exists that gravity is a binding force for the superclusters.
