How this entity was disambiguated

This entity first appeared as the object of triple T11376972 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

Target entity: Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall (partly in direction)
Context triple: [Hercules, contains, Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall (partly in direction)]

A. Pavo–Indus filament
The Pavo–Indus filament is a massive, elongated large-scale structure of galaxies forming part of the cosmic web in the nearby universe.
B. Centaurus Wall
The Centaurus Wall is a massive filamentary structure of galaxies forming part of the large-scale cosmic web in the nearby universe.
C. Magellanic Stream
The Magellanic Stream is a vast, trailing ribbon of gas stretching across the sky, stripped from the Magellanic Clouds as they interact gravitationally with the Milky Way.
D. Eridanus Supervoid
Eridanus Supervoid is an unusually large and sparse region of space with significantly fewer galaxies than average, often studied in connection with anomalies in the cosmic microwave background.
E. Paisley Galaxy
Paisley Galaxy is a popular Cantopop song by Hong Kong singer Kelly Chan.
F. None of above. chosen
G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
