There are said to be about 45 galaxies in this group. Our group of galaxies is just a part of clusters of groups of galaxies. They pointed the Hubble telescope into deep space in an area they thought was relatively empty and were surprised to see thousands of galaxies. As of now we don't have instruments powerful enough to see out even further but they have used computers to extrapolate what they think it would look like. The following image is what they call our "local universe" made up of strings of clusters of galaxies. And the following image is what the computer extrapolates think it would look like even farther out. And even farther yet. Looking out across unimaginable distances at things that are unimaginably large it amazes me how much it resembles the subatomic universe of electrons and protons that we can see with our most powerful electron microscopes. See Molecular Expressions It also amazes me that with such an astounding world we live in we allow ourselves to be consumed with so many petty things.
