We are on Earth. Earth is within the Solar System about 93 million miles from the Sun. That sun is a star located in the Orion Arm. The Orion Arm of the galaxy is about 26,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. The Milky Way Galaxy is located within the Local Group, which is a cluster of more than 54 galaxies including our own, our neighbor galaxies the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, Andromeda, Triangulum, and many others. The Local Group is located in the larger Virgo Supercluster which contains about 100 galaxy groups. This Virgo Supercluster is in the center of about 10 million superclusters that make up the entire Observable Universe.
