The Virgo Supercluster (in which the Milky Way is located) is about 200 million light years across.
The Virgo Supercluster, often just called the Local Supercluster
The Local group for the clusterThe Virgo Super Clusters for the Supercluster
Our local cluster is known as - well "The Local Cluster", Not very imaginative I know. It is part of the the Virgo Supercluster or Local Supercluster.
Yes it is. A supercluster has up to 50 galaxies where the local group contains up to 30. The local group cluster is actually located within the Local (or Virgo) supercluster.
The Local Group is a collection of galaxies that includes the Milky Way, Andromeda, and about 54 other smaller galaxies. It is located approximately 10 million light-years away from Earth. This group is part of the larger Virgo Supercluster, which contains many other galaxy groups and clusters.
The cluster, which contains the Milky way and more than 50 other galaxies, is called the Local Cluster. The cluster has a diameter of 3.1 million parsecs (10 million light years). The Local Group is part of the much larger Virgo Supercluster.
The diameter of the local group, which is a cluster of galaxies that includes the Milky Way, is estimated to be around 10 million light-years. This means that from one end of the local group to the other, it spans a distance of approximately 10 million light-years.
The Milky Way is part of the Local Group, which is part of the Virgo Supercluster.
No, The Local Group is not. The local group is just an small cluster of a few galaxies on the outskirts of the Local Super-cluster which the Virgo cluster is in the center of it.
The Milky Way Galaxy and its nearest neighbors are part of a cluster known as the Local Group. This cluster comprises over 50 galaxies, including prominent members like the Andromeda Galaxy and the Triangulum Galaxy. The Local Group spans approximately 10 million light-years and is part of the larger Laniakea Supercluster. It is characterized by a mix of spiral, elliptical, and irregular galaxies.
A supercluster is a collection of clusters. There is no defined amount of clusters. A cluster could have up to 10 trillion stars, so a supercluster could contain around a quadtrillion stars.
No, not at all. Jupiter is part of the Solar System, which is part of the Milky Way galaxy, which is part of the Local Group (of Galaxies), which is part of the Local Superclusters. Jupiter's mass is nothing when compared to the mass of Superclusters.
