Which galaxy cluster is the Milky Way in?

A cluster of galaxies is a cluster of galaxies that are mechanically related to each other.

A cluster of galaxies containing a few galaxies is called a cluster of galaxies. The galaxy group where the Milky Way is located is called the local galaxy group, and there are about 50 member galaxies (different opinions).

A larger cluster composed of several adjacent clusters is called a cluster. The cluster of galaxies in which our Milky Way is located is called the Virgo cluster.

The Virgo galaxy cluster is an irregular galaxy cluster located in Virgo, consisting of more than 2,500 galaxies, with an average distance of 60 million light years from us19 million parsec. The Virgo galaxy cluster occupies a long sky area with an angular diameter of about 12. The diameter of the line is about1300 million light years. Virgo galaxy cluster occupies at least a large area of 12h~ 13h and+20 ~-20 declination on the celestial sphere. Supergiant star's elliptical galaxy M87(NGC4486) is located in the center of the Virgo cluster, and there are hundreds of member galaxies in the elliptical sky region with the central region of 12× 10. Its structure is quite complex, which may be the projection of several galaxy clusters.

Both the Virgo cluster and the local cluster where the Milky Way is located belong to local supercluster, and the Virgo cluster may be the central dense part of local supercluster.

The local virgo supercluster is an irregular supercluster, which consists of a group of galaxies, including the local cluster where the solar system is located. Shaped like a pancake in a pot, covering an area of about 1. 1 100 million light years, it is one of the millions of supercluster clusters in Hubble volume.

Virgo supercluster is also a part of Ranyakaya supercluster. It is also a part of the galaxy filament Pisces-Cetacea supercluster complex. The central region of the cluster is about 60 million light-years away from the earth and is located in Virgo.

Virgo supercluster contains about 100 galaxy clusters, and the Virgo galaxy cluster is located at its center. This galaxy cluster is located at the edge of the Virgo galaxy cluster and continues to be far away from the Virgo galaxy cluster.
