The Virgo Supercluster (aka Virgo SC, Local Supercluster, LSC, or LS) is a supercluster including the Virgo Cluster and the Local Group, and other galaxy clusters (and groups) such as the Fornax Cluster. It has now been declared to be a portion of a larger supercluster, which has been named Laniakea Supercluster. (With this new nomenclature, the term Local Supercluster logically applies to Laniakea and the term's use in writing has become ambiguous.)
