Planets
Earth may feel big to us, but at 12,756 km (7,962 miles) across , it is just a speck in an expanding Universe.
Stars
Planets orbits stars - our star is the Sun. Without it there would be no life. It measures 1.4 million km(870,000 miles) across.
Galaxies
Stars exists in galaxies, colossal star systems that come in a range of sizes and shapes. Earth is in the Milky Way Galaxy.
Cluster
Galaxies exist in clusters - the milky way Galaxy is in the local group cluster, stretching 10 million light years across.
Super-cluster
Galaxy clusters are within super-clusters - we are in the Virgo super-cluster, 200 million light years from one side to other.
Voids
The largest structures in the Universe are chains of super-clusters that are separated bu huge empty voids.
