Fraser Cain at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.universetoday.com\/30645\/virgo-supercluster\/#ixzz2KFIEhLkL\">Universe Today<\/a> explains:<\/p>\n<blockquote style=\"background-color:#ddddff;\"><p>The supercluster we live in is known as the Virgo Supercluster. It\u2019s 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. This contains three large spiral galaxies: the Milky Way, Andromeda, and the Triangulum Galaxy, as well as a few dozen dwarf galaxies. The Local Group is just one member of the Virgo Cluster. This is a collection of 1200-2000 galaxies that stretch across 15 million light-years of space. And then, the Virgo Cluster is just one cluster in the Virgo Supercluster.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;&#8230;The Virgo Supercluster is just one of millions of superclusters across the Universe.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If the average galaxy is only 1\/100th of the size of the Milky Way (i.e. between 1 and 4 billion stars) and the average supercluster contains a million galaxies, then the universe contains at least 1 Sextillion (or 10^18) stars.<\/p>\n<p>See more photos at <a title=\"BuzzFeed\" href=\"http:\/\/www.buzzfeed.com\/donnad\/18-astounding-hubble-photos-released-in-2012\" target=\"_blank\">BuzzFeed: 18 Astounding Hubble Photos Released In 2012 | Donna Dickens<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amazing photo from Hubble space telescope depicts the enormity of space.
