Original - A diagram of Earth’s location in the Universe in a series of eight maps that show from left to right, the Earth, inside the Solar System, inside the Solar Interstellar Neighborhood, inside the Milky Way, inside the Local Galactic Group, inside the Virgo Supercluster, inside our local superclusters, and finally finishing inside the entire observable Universe.
Astronomers have released an image of the Milky Way that maps some of the largest structures in the galaxy, including nebulas and the galactic center.
