There is no definite size, as anything on this scale and distance is liable to change and distortion.

However, it has generally been estimated that the Virgo Supercluster is at least 110 million light years across.

For comparison our Galaxy is only 100,000 light years across and the Sun is only 8 light minutes from us.

The Virgo Supercluster contains over 100 galaxy groups and clusters, including the well-known Virgo Cluster.
