Abstract
Clusters of galaxies are often embedded in larger-scale superclusters with dimensions of tens or perhaps even hundreds of Mpc. Observational and theoretical evidence suggest an important connection between cluster properties and their surroundings, with cluster formation being driven primarily by the infall of material along large-scale filaments. Nowhere is this connection more obvious than the Coma cluster.
