The Milky Way is part of a larger cosmic structure called the Laniakea Supercluster, measuring 250 million light-years across with at least 100,000 galaxies. But superclusters get bigger, and astronomers think they've found one of the most massive. The Einasto Supercluster measures at least 360 million light-years across and contains the mass of 26 quadrillion suns (2.6 x 10^16). This monstrous structure was just one out of a survey of 662 superclusters.
