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.

Do you live in the local group of galaxy clusters?
no one nows we might live a group of galaxy or we might not who nows?
What supercluster do we live in?
The Local group for the clusterThe Virgo Super Clusters for the Supercluster
How many stars are in a supercluster?
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.
What are superclusters?
Superclusters are very large groupings of smaller galactic clusters. Superclusters are the largest known structures in the Universe, and since they are not gravitationally bound, they partake in the Hubble expansion. The Milky Way Galaxy is located in the Local Group, which in turn is located in the Virgo Supercluster.
What are galaxies that are found in clusters?
Most galaxies, even our own, are found in groups or clusters. For example, the Local Group contains several galaxies including the Milky Way, Andromeda, and the Magellanic clouds.
Is Andromeda galaxy the largest?
It is the largest galaxy in our local group, but there are larger galaxies elsewhere in the universe.
Two largest and massive members of local group?
The two most massive members of the Local Group are the Milky Way and Andromeda Galaxy.
Is it true that in the milky way it is a member of the local group?
The Milky Way Galaxy is the second largest galaxy, after Andromeda, in the Local Group. The Triangulum Galaxy (a.k.a., the Star Wars galaxy) is the third largest. The Local Group contains about 30 galaxies, including dwarf galaxies.
The Milky Way is the smallest galaxy in the Local Group?
No, in fact it is the second-largest galaxy, after M31. Most of the other members of the Local Group are dwarf galaxies.
The Andromeda Galaxy is a member of the?
It is apart of the Local Group.
What is the name for a group of stars bound together by gravity?
Our local group of galaxies is bound by gravity, although the large and small magellanic clouds nearby are moving fast enough they are probably just passing through. Our entire local group is also moving towards another big group of galaxies known as "the Great Attractor," which itself is bound by gravity. There are numerous clusters of galaxies bound by gravity throughout the hundred billion galaxies in our universe.
Is the milky way the largest object in the universe?
No, The Milky Way is the galaxy in which Earth's sun is to be found and it is only the second largest galaxy in the local group - the neighboring Andromeda galaxy is larger. The largest galaxies that we know of are giant elliptical galaxies in the centers of clusters of galaxies. These galaxies are about 10 times more luminous than the Milky Way and Andromeda (which are spiral galaxies) and about 100 times more massive, with diameters of more than 6 million light years (compared to about 100 thousand light years for the Milky Way). The largest objects in the universe that we can recognize are galactic super clusters, which are large associations of galaxies that can extend over distances of more than 100 million light-years.
