It is estimated that the Milky Way is about 100,000 light years wide. In other words, it takes light about 100,000 earth years to travel from one edge right across to the far edge.

Is there anything further than the Milky Way?

Yes. The Milky Way is a galaxy, and it is huge, with a diameter of about 100,000 light-years. That means it will take light 100,000 years to go from one end to the other. Such vastness staggers the imagination. And yet, other galaxies - many of them quite similar to the Milky Way - are known to be at a distance of millions or even billions of light-years from us.
