Scientific paper

It is demonstrated that redshifts of galaxies that are in the IRAS survey show the existence of an extended supercluster at z roughly 0.05 surrounding the concentration of clusters described by Scaramella et al. (1989). Its contribution to the Local Group peculiar (non-Hubble) velocity is probably minor, although it may dominate motions on the far side of the Great Attractor.
