So its like a galaxy of galaxies? What is a group of galaxies called? Whoever named sperm whales and Uranus should not be allowed to name them.

I think that both of the guys who named those have already passed, but I agree, we need a good name for such a phenomenon.

Galaxty or Galaxtie are good candidates, though they do sound kind of like galaxy and knowing some people, I can foresee some confusion.

We should keep thinking to see what else we can come up with.
