Virgo Supercluster size and scale context

The Virgo Supercluster is the larger galactic neighborhood that contains the Virgo Cluster, the Local Group, and many other nearby galaxy groups and clusters. It was long used as the standard name for our home supercluster-scale environment before larger flow-based structures such as Laniakea became common in cosmography.
