The Local Sheet in astronomy is a nearby extragalactic region of space where the Milky Way, the members of the Local Group and other galaxies share a similar peculiar velocity. This region lies within a radius of about {{convert|7|Mpc|Mly|abbr=on|lk=on}},[4] {{convert|1.5|Mly|Mpc|abbr=on|order=flip}} thick,[1] and galaxies beyond that distance show markedly different velocities.[4] The Local Group has only a relatively small peculiar velocity of {{Val|66|ul=km.s-1}} with respect to the Local Sheet. Typical velocity dispersion of galaxies is only {{Val|40|u=km.s-1}} in the radial direction. Nearly all nearby bright galaxies belong to the Local Sheet.[1] The Local Sheet is part of the Local Volume and is in the Virgo Supercluster (Local Supercluster).[9] The Local Sheet forms a wall of galaxies delineating one boundary of the Local Void.[10]

A significant component of the mean velocity of the galaxies in the Local Sheet appears as the result of the gravitational attraction of the Virgo Cluster of galaxies, resulting in a peculiar motion ~{{Val|185|u=km.s-1}} toward the cluster. A second component is directed away from the center of the Local Void; an expanding region of space spanning an estimated {{convert|45|Mpc|Mly|abbr=on}} that is only sparsely populated with galaxies.[4] This component has a velocity of {{Val|259|u=km.s-1}}. The Local Sheet is inclined 8° from the Local Supercluster (Virgo Supercluster).[1]

The so-called Council of Giants is a ring of twelve large galaxies surrounding the Local Group in the Local Sheet, with a radius of {{convert|3.75|Mpc|Mly|abbr=on}}.[1] Ten of these are spirals, while the remaining two are ellipticals. The two ellipticals (Maffei 1 and Centaurus A) lie on opposite sides of the Local Group, and their formation may have prompted the development of the Local Group. The Local Sheet's own development outlines a concentration of dark matter in a filament.[1]
