I Considered the Vastness of Space and it's 'Uge

This is a map of a small part of our universe made up of groups, clusters, and superclusters of galaxies. Brighter is moar and you can see the superclusters, white dots you could say, connected together by other groups and clusters that make up the filament structures on the map. The largest structure on this map is one of the largest structures in visable space making up about 5% of the known universe.

The Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies which will collide and merge in about 4.5 billion years, though no solar systems will crash into each other due to the vastness of space, are in a group named the Milky Way Local Group (MWLG) made up of 54 galaxies and has a diameter of 3 million light-years. The MWLG of 54, bound by electrical attraction i.e. gravity, is part of a much larger supercluster called Laniakea Supercluster². The MWLG sits on the far right of the Laniakea Supercluster which is next to the Pisces-Cetus Supercluster, guesstimated to contain 19k galaxies divided between 19 clusters, that is also shaded in green and is to the right of the drawn circle. Each point on this map is a galaxy with millions to trillions of stars. Star gazers used to think the MWLG was in what was called the Virgo Supercluster consisting of 1.5k galaxies that had a diameter of 110 million light-years as of 2014, but now is consider part of the greater Laniakea Supercluster (the 5% structure on map¹) that has a diameter of 500 million light-years and contains 150k galaxies.

Can you see me³ waving?

Waving the middlenfinger at you faggots.
