Large-Scale Distribution of Galaxies

For over twenty years it has been generally accepted the distribution of galaxies is fractal over relatively small scales.
Peebles reports on scales up to 50 million light years, the distribution of galaxies is "remarkably well approximated as a fractal with dimension d = 1.23," but beyond these distances he asserts the distribution becomes homogeneous.
