The Virgo Supercluster contains over 100 galaxy groups and clusters, including the well-known Virgo Cluster. Estimates suggest that it harbors approximately 2,000 galaxies, although some sources propose that the total could be higher, potentially encompassing up to 3,000 galaxies when accounting for smaller groups and isolated galaxies. This supercluster is part of the larger Laniakea Supercluster, which includes our Milky Way galaxy.
