Earth is in milkyway galaxy which is part of Virgo cluster and Virgo cluster is located in Virgo supercluster.
Cluster = A group of galaxies.
Supercluster = group of clusters.
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.
A galaxy is larger. Our solar system is a very tiny part of the Milkyway Galaxy. the galaxy. a galaxy is made up of hundreds of thousands of solar systems.
The correct order of your cosmic address is: Earth, Solar System, Milky Way Galaxy, Local Group, Virgo Supercluster, Laniakea Supercluster, and the observable Universe. This hierarchy starts from your specific location on Earth and expands outward to the largest structures in the cosmos. Each level encompasses the previous one, illustrating the vast scale of the universe.
That sounds like a galaxy. It could also be a galaxy cluster or a supercluster.
Actually, a supercluster can contain millions to billions of stars, along with gas, dust, and dark matter. Superclusters are some of the largest known structures in the universe, made up of numerous galaxies and galaxy clusters bound together by gravity. They can span hundreds of millions of light-years.
The Virgo Supercluster, often just called the Local Supercluster
The Local group for the clusterThe Virgo Super Clusters for the Supercluster
A supercluster is a group of galaxy clusters, each of which in turn is a group of galaxies.
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.
A supercluster.
hello
The Virgo Supercluster (in which the Milky Way is located) is about 200 million light years across.
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".
The Virgo Supercluster contains over 100 galaxy groups and clusters, including the well-known Virgo Cluster. Estimates suggest that it harbors approximately 2,000 galaxies, although some sources propose that the total could be higher, potentially encompassing up to 3,000 galaxies when accounting for smaller groups and isolated galaxies. This supercluster is part of the larger Laniakea Supercluster, which includes our Milky Way galaxy.
The Milky Way is part of the Virgo Supercluster.
A galactic supercluster.
Every single type.
