The Lynx Supercluster was discovered in 1999 (as ClG J0848+4453, a name now used to describe the western cluster, with ClG J0849+4452 being the eastern one), it contains at least two clusters RXJ 0848.9+4452 (z=1.26) and RXJ 0848.6+4453 (z=1.27) . At the time of discovery, it was the most distant known supercluster. Additionally, seven smaller groups of galaxies are associated with the supercluster.
