A supercluster is a group of galaxy clusters, each of which in turn is a group of galaxies.
The Virgo Supercluster, often just called the Local Supercluster
The Local group for the clusterThe Virgo Super Clusters for the 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".
Yes it is. A supercluster has up to 50 galaxies where the local group contains up to 30. The local group cluster is actually located within the Local (or Virgo) supercluster.
The Earth is located within a supercluster called the Laniakea Supercluster. It is a vast system of galaxies that includes our Milky Way galaxy and thousands of others, bound together by gravity. The Laniakea Supercluster was defined in 2014 by astronomers studying the motions of galaxies in the universe.
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.
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.
The Milky Way is part of the Virgo Supercluster.
A galactic supercluster.
