Superclusters of the Universe

I have always grown curious about the objects in our known universe. One of the interesting things I have recently read is the largest-scale structure in the universe - Saraswati Supercluster. But how are superclusters formed? First, stars are grouped into galaxies then these galaxies are grouped into galactic groups then into galactic clusters. Finally, when these galactic clusters merge, they form superclusters! Simply, it is formed with this pattern: stars - galaxy - galactic groups - galactic clusters - superclusters.
I was amazed that the Saraswati Supercluster contains at least 43 galactic clusters. This supercluster was discovered by Indian scientists and named after the Hindu goddess of knowledge and music. What caught my interest is its mass that is equivalent to over 20 billion suns! How massive is that!
Indeed, the Universe really is a beautiful mystery.

Exactly, it's a beautiful mystery because we are made of the same energy, only difference is the amount. Our body, the sun, the stars, etc... are made of energy.

Universe is full of mystery.
For me the very first question arises is "Is there a end of universe or it is infinitely long in distance ".
