What supercluster is the milky way is a part of?
The Virgo Supercluster, often just called the Local Supercluster
Is our local supercluster 50 million light years across?
The Virgo Supercluster (in which the Milky Way is located) is about 200 million light years across.
What supercluster is the Milky Way Found in?
The Milky Way is part of the Local Group, which is part of the Virgo Supercluster.
What is the milky ways galaxy supercluster?
Until now, the Milky Way was believed to be one galaxy in the 2,000 that make up what's known as the Virgo "supercluster".
What is the name of your cluster?
The Milky Way is part of the Virgo Supercluster.
Why was there a milky way?
The Milky Way is located in the Local Clusterwhich contains about 30 galaxies. It is on of the biggest of them and it also has a twin galaxy called Andromeda. The local cluster is located a galaxy cloud called Canes Venaticiwhich together with 6 other galaxy clouds makes the Local Supercluster.
After the milky way what comes next in Earth's galactic address?
Virgo Supercluster
Is Jupiter bigger than the local supercluster?
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.
The earth moon system is a part of what?
The Solar System contains the Earth-Moon system. The Milky Way galaxy contains the Solar System. The Virgo supercluster contains the Milky Way galaxy. The Universe contains the Virgo supercluster.
What is the Milky Way orbiting?
There is no larger rotational group for galaxies. The Milky Way galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy, as part of the Local Group, are moving generally in one direction, toward an unidentified central mass in the direction of the constellation Centaurus. (This may be a gravitational effect of the Shapley Supercluster.)
Where is the earth positioned in the universe?
The Earth is 93,000,000 miles from the Sun, on the edge of the Milky Way galaxy, in the Virgo supercluster.
Does the solar system orbit around the universe?
The solar system orbits around the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way. The Milky Way orbits with a number of other galaxies around the center of our galactic cluster, called the Local Group. The Local Group rotates in the Virgo Supercluster (a cluster of galactic clusters). It is unclear if superclusters rotate around anything.
