The Perseus–Pegasus Filament was discovered by David Batuski and Jack Burns of New Mexico State University in 1985.[2] It is likely that Clyde W. Tombaugh, of the Lowell Observatory, discovered its existence in 1936 while conducting his search for trans-Saturnian planets. He reported it as the Great Perseus-Andromeda stratum of Extra-Galactic Nebulae.[3] Earlier still, parts of this clustering had been reported by Walter E. Bernheimer [de].[4]
^The reference cited claims the Perseus-Pisces Filament as the largest known structure in the universe. However, various reports cite the Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall as the largest at 10,000,000,000 light-years (3.1×109 pc) across.
