Tip of the red giant branch measurements based on Hubble Space Telescope and ground-based imaging have resulted in accurate distances to 29 galaxies in the nearby Centaurus A Group . All but two of the 29 galaxies lie in either of two thin planes roughly parallel with the supergalactic equator . The planes are only slightly tilted from the line-of-sight , leaving little ambiguity regarding the morphology of the structure . The planes have characteristic r.m.s . long axis dimensions of \sim 300 kpc and short axis dimensions of \sim 60 kpc , hence axial ratios \sim 0.2 , and are separated in the short axis direction by 303 kpc .
