An Atlas of The Universe

This web page is designed to give everyone an idea of what our universe actually
looks like. There are nine main maps on this web page, each one approximately
ten times the scale of the previous one. The first map shows the nearest stars
and then the other maps slowly expand out until we have reached the scale of the
entire visible universe.

12.5 Light Years from the Sun
The Nearest Stars
The closest star to the Sun is only 7000 times further than the edge of
our solar system. This map shows all of the stellar systems that lie
within 12.5 light years from us.
250 Light Years from the Sun
The Solar Neighbourhood
A large proportion of the stars visible with the naked eye are within
250 light years. This map shows this tiny section of our galaxy that
surrounds our Sun.
5 000 Light Years from the Sun
The Orion Arm
The local arm of our galaxy is called the Orion Arm. It is depicted
here showing the millions of stars interspersed with clouds of
interstellar gas.
50 000 Light Years from the Sun
The Milky Way Galaxy
Our galaxy is a loose spiral disc of two hundred billion stars rotating
around a compact centre. This is a diagram showing the main features
of the Galaxy.
500 000 Light Years from the Sun
The Satellite Galaxies
The Milky Way is surrounded by several dwarf galaxies slowly orbiting
it in periods of billions of years. This map shows the nearest of
these satellite galaxies.
5 Million Light Years from the Sun
The Local Group
The Milky Way is gravitationally bound to two other large spiral
galaxies as well as dozens of dwarf galaxies. This local group of
galaxies is illustrated here.
100 Million Light Years from the Sun
The Virgo Supercluster
The local group of galaxies is just one of many centred around the
massive Virgo Cluster. Collectively, all of these groups and clusters
form a unit known as the Virgo Supercluster shown here.
1 Billion Light Years from the Sun
The Neighbouring Superclusters
The distribution of galaxies in the universe is far from regular. They
tend to clump together into huge supercluster formations. This map
shows many of the superclusters within 1 billion light years of us.
14 Billion Light Years from the Sun
The Visible Universe
Although our knowledge of the large scale structure of the universe is
incomplete, many large and small scale features are visible right out
to the very edge of the visible universe. The entire universe is fairly
uniform, as this map shows.

var site="sm1singinglemon"
30 Jul 2006: I added another galaxy (Ursa Major II) to the map of the Satellite galaxies.
22 Jul 2006: I have replaced the Map of the Milkyway Galaxy with a new version.
16 May 2006: I added a copyright statement to the bottom of this page.

Glossary
This is a glossary which should hopefully explain most of the
unexplained terms used in this web page.
Useful Links
This is my attempt at a list of other web pages which have maps and
other useful data on various aspects of the universe.
Negative Images
Here are some negative image versions of some of the maps on this
web page, showing dark objects against a white background, which may be
easier to print.
