Our place in the Cosmos

[Gregory Matthews]

NOTE:  The following information has been obtained from the July (2016) issue of SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, and an article written by Noam Libeskind & Brent Tully.

1)  The Earth (our planet) is a part of a collection of planets that are known as the Milky Way Galaxy.

2)  The Milky Way Galaxy is a part of a group of more than 50  galaxies that are known as The Local Group.

3)  More than a thousand of these clusters of galaxies are grouped in a cluster known as the Virgo Cluster.

4) Hundreds  of these clusters are grouped in a group known as The Local Supercluster.

5) A hundred times larger than a Local Supercluster is a group of them known as a Laniakea (Hawaiian for immeasurable heaven.).

 

Think about it for a minute.  Imagine the magnitude of God's creation!
