  • Milky Way & Virgo Cluster: Location Explained - Local Group vs. Supercluster
    No, the Milky Way is not located in the Virgo Cluster.

    * The Virgo Cluster is a large cluster of galaxies containing thousands of galaxies, including our nearest large galactic neighbor, Andromeda.

    * The Milky Way is part of a much smaller group of galaxies called the Local Group, which includes Andromeda and a few dozen smaller galaxies.

    The Local Group is located on the outskirts of the Virgo Supercluster, a much larger structure containing many galaxy clusters, including the Virgo Cluster.
