So far the idea that there is more than one universe is purely conjecture with some theories pointing to the possibility. Nothing we know of is bigger than the universe. Galaxies are much smaller.
Size order:
1) Universe (all observable matter)
2) Strings or groups of galaxies (the biggest structure in the universe is a large group of strings of galaxies)
3) Galaxies (billions of stars bound by gravity - in various shapes)
4) Solar systems (1 or more stars with various types of matter in orbit - our solar system is our sun and the 8 planets plus other types of orbiting matter)
Many TV programs, movies, and writers mix up galaxy and solar system. They will say that a space traveler went to another galaxy when it should have been solar system.

There is only one known universe and it is a proven fact that we can not possible know of any other universe. That doesn't mean there arn't others, we just can't know about them since they are beyond our own event horizon.

Several universes together are a multiverse...and several multiverses together make up the greater omniverse.
