Superclusters are very large groupings of smaller galactic clusters. Superclusters are the largest known structures in the Universe, and since they are not gravitationally bound, they partake in the Hubble expansion. The Milky Way Galaxy is located in the Local Group, which in turn is located in the Virgo Supercluster.

Most usage of supercluster in population genetics research articles applies to proposed large groups of human mtDNA haplotype lineages, found by cluster analysis, that are thought to stem from a single distant most recent common ancestor, on a time scale of tens of thousands of years.

What is the estimated number of superclusters since there are 100 billion galaxies in the universe?
Ten superclusters.
What pulls superclusters together?
The gravitational attraction of the mass in the galaxies comprising the cluster.
Is Jupiter bigger than the local supercluster?
No, not at all. Jupiter is part of the Solar System, which is part of the Milky Way galaxy, which is part of the Local Group (of Galaxies), which is part of the Local Superclusters. Jupiter's mass is nothing when compared to the mass of Superclusters.

Superclusters.
What are billions of stars held together by gravitational attraction?
They form galaxies, galactic clusters, and galactic superclusters.

Superclusters are large groupings of smaller galaxy groups and clusters, and are among the largest structures of the cosmos.

What are Large groups of galaxy clusters that appear in sheetlike and threadlike shapes?
Large groups of galaxy clusters that appear in sheetlike and threadlike shapes are called superclusters.

What is the largest sturctual unit of the universe?
The largest structures are superclusters. Superclusters are made of clusters of galaxies. Larger or not, the Brick Wall (whatever it's called) also is large. As of January 2013, the Huge Large Quasar Group is the largest known structure in the universe. The Huge-LQG was discovered in January 2013.
