Structure of the Universe

The Universe is organized into a hierarchy of structures — from stars to galaxies to superclusters.

Large-Scale Structure

  • Stars → Solar Systems
  • Solar Systems → Galaxies
  • Galaxies → Clusters
  • Clusters → Superclusters
  • Superclusters → Cosmic Web

The “cosmic web” is made of filaments, voids, and galaxy superclusters, forming the largest known structure in existence.
