Abstract
A consistent picture of large-scale structure appears to be emerging from different types of observations including the spatial distribution of galaxies, clusters of galaxies, narrow pencil-beam surveys, and quasars. I describe these observations below. A network of large-scale superclusters, up to ~ 150 Mpc in scale, is suggested. The supercluster network surrounds low-density regions of similar scales, suggesting a “cellular” structure of the universe. (Ho = 100 km /s/ Mpc is used).
