Is the Local Group a supercluster?

The Virgo Supercluster (Virgo SC) or the Local Supercluster (LSC or LS) is a mass concentration of galaxies containing the Virgo Cluster and Local Group, which itself contains the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies, as well as others.

Are we in the Virgo Cluster?

The supercluster we live in is known as the Virgo Supercluster. It’s an enormous collection of more than a million galaxies, stretching across a region of space 110 million light-years across. Our Sun is just one member of the Milky Way, and the Milky Way is part of a collection of galaxies known as the Local Group.

What galaxy group are we?

the Local Group
These clusters are themselves contained within colossal superclusters. Our galaxy is located on the edge of a supercluster in a small galaxy cluster called the Local Group. The Local Group includes 36 galaxies. The Milky Way, our galaxy, is one of the larger ones.

Which cluster do we live in?

Our galaxy is located on the edge of a supercluster in a small galaxy cluster called the Local Group. The Local Group includes 36 galaxies. The Milky Way, our galaxy, is one of the larger ones. Its closest neighbors are the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Small Magellanic Cloud.
