Large galaxy surveys such as the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey and Survey, performed at  the Sloan Digital Sky Survey   have Anglo-Australian telescope in New South Wales,  mapped the positions in the sky of millions extremely large numbers  ofgalaxies in the  nearby Universe, galaxies,  and show that rich, complex structure exists on even the largest scales.
