Abell 262 is part of the Perseus-Pisces chain of superclusters. This filament is one of the largest known structures in the universe and extends from the Perseus clusters (Abell 426) through to the NGC_507 and NGC 363 groups in northern Pisces. The group contains about 100 galaxies and is classified as an irregular cluster. Although its central galaxy, NGC 708, is a giant cD galaxy, most of its bright galaxies are spirals, which is unusual for a galaxy cluster.
