Universe – a vast expanse beyond human imagination. Where are we located in this expanse of emptiness and darkness? What is our address in space?
If aliens existed, have you ever wondered how would they communicate and locate our “beloved” Earth in the universe which is believed to be expanding? There are no facilities like Google maps in space. That’s the reason we need our own address but the main question is what is it. That is the reason why I’m witting this blog.
Our Address:

UNIVERSE – Universe is a vast expanse of emptiness. It consists of everything! Including YOU, planets, galaxies, stars, space, gases,………. and even time itself. It is often referred to as “Cosmos”. It is believed that the universe is continuously expanding but we have not still answered the question how? or why? So one can say that the universe is infinite. The universe which we can observe is called the observable universe.

| Laniakea |
LANIAKEA – Our home supercluster
also known as the “Local supercluster” or once known as the”Virgo supercluster”. Laniakea is Hawaiian for ‘immeasurable heaven’. Galaxies tend to huddle in groups called clusters; regions, where these clusters are densely packed, are known as superclusters. Milky Way is one of the galaxies in the supercluster.
