None that we know of. The Milky Way is a bit larger than the average galaxy, with somewhere between 500 billion to a trillion stars (it's difficult to know, because there are an unknown number of small and invisibly dim red or brown dwarf stars). We don't believe it possible that any single star to be much larger than about 150 solar masses.

The universe is made of only your solar system?

No. Our own galaxy contains several hundred billion stars (each of which might be a solar system), the observable Universe contains hundreds of billions of galaxies, and it seems that the entire Universe is much, much bigger than the observable Universe.

How many stars out there?

trillions If our galaxy with 2*1011 (two hundred billion) stars is an average size galaxy. and there are as many galaxies in the Universe as there are stars in our galaxy, then there are possibly 4*1022 stars in the Universe. But that is just a guess. There are most certainly more than 1018 stars.

How many solar system are there in space?

Our own galaxy has between 100 and 400 billion stars; there are hundreds of billions of similar galaxies in the OBSERVABLE Universe, and it is believed that the entire Universe is much, much bigger than the observable Universe (how much bigger, is not known). It seems that at least a large percentage of those stars have planets, which means they can be called "solar systems".

What is bigger than a galaxy cluster?

The visible universe. I'm a bit of a space buff and to my knowledge there aren't any celestial structures that are larger than a galaxy cluster. The only one I've come upon is the visible universe itself. I could be wrong about that but then again, I could be right. That tends to be how celestial questions like that one go. Hope this helps. Answer 2: Galaxy clusters are clusters of galaxies and therefore larger than individual galaxies. Superclusters are clusters of galaxy clusters and so are larger then galaxy clusters. Filaments are collections of superclusters and are the largest known structures in the universe.
