Yes. 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.

∙ 9y agoYes, the universe contains all the galaxies there are. Current best estimates calculate the size of the observable universe at approximately 28 billion parsecs (91 billion years) diameter. (1 light year = the distance light can travel in 1 earth year = approx 6 trillion miles). It is commonly assumed by physicists that the whole universe is much larger than the observable universe. Some theoretical physicists even think there could be many universes that we are unaware of, all existing at the same time in different dimensions

∙ 9y agoA universe is bigger than a galaxy. In fact a universe could have anywhere around one-hundred billion galaxies inside it.
It is said that if you hold a grain of sand up to the sky, inside that patch of sky the grain of sand covers contains about 1,000 galaxies, all light years away of course.

Who discovered the pinwheel galaxy?
Do you want the name of a specific one or just something that sounds more intellectual than "You know, those PINWHEEL shaped ones"? The correct terminology is spiral galaxy. As for an example, the Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy.
How many stars are in outer space and the galaxy?
Astronomers estimate that there is about a centillion (10^303) stars in the observableUniverse. That is to say the portion of the Universe that we can see. More than likely,there are even more than that, but we are still counting.====================================Answer #2:I was in the neighborhood, happened to see Answer #1, and stopped in to say thatI have a problem with that number.-- Estimates of the number of stars in the Milky Way (our galaxy) are in the range of200-400 billion.-- Compared to other galaxies that we can observe, the Milky Way (our galaxy) seemsto be bigger than average, and have more stars than average.-- Estimates of the number of galaxies that we can see range up to maybe 100 billion.Let's generate an unreasonably huge estimate of the total number of stars in the presentlyobservable universe ... one that we can be sure is too big. Let's assume that ...-- The number of stars in the Milky Way (our galaxy) is at the highest end of the estimatedrange ... 400 billion.-- Instead of the Milky Way (our galaxy) being bigger than average, assume that every galaxyhas as many stars as the Milky Way (our galaxy) has ... 400 billion.-- Instead of only maybe 100 billion galaxies, let's assume that there are as many other galaxiesas there are stars in every galaxy ... 400 billion.Then the total number of stars would be (400 billion)2 = only a mere 1.6 x 1023, NOT 10303 .And besides that ... How can Answer #1 start by saying "Astronomers estimate that . . ."and then go on to say "More than likely there are even more than that ..." ? Who says ?Another answer: I more or less agree with the previous answer. The estimateI am familiar with is "about 1022 stars".
