A galaxy. Our Milky Way galaxy is home to billions of stars, our sun being one of them.
To make you feel even smaller, there are billions of galaxies of all shapes and sizes. It is said that a galaxy more than likely has to be shaped a certain way in order to sustain life. This could be a requirement due to the gravitational center all galaxies have called a Black Hole. Yes- even at the center of the Milky Way lies a hungry Black Hole. The forces of all the stars and planents and other bodies counter the effects of the Black Hole keeping us in our perfect spot near the edge. But NOT TOO close to the edge to be subject to stellar masses that could smash us apart. -- Yea this Earth is pretty special, and quite lucky!
