Caption: Figure 5.

The V-web. The scene is a zoom of Figure 1 except here the translucent contours illustrate the surfaces enclosing knots (rust) and filaments (gray) as defined by eigenvalues of the shear tensor evaluated locally. The red circle is at the center of the Arrowhead Supercluster. Velocity flow lines in white are seeded at the locations of galaxies within the black ring with radius 3000 km s−1. The Milky Way is at the origin of the red arrow pointing right toward positive SGX, the green arrow directed up toward positive SGY, and the blue arrow pointing toward positive SGZ almost directly out of the page; each arrow 1000 km s−1 in length.
