We're part of the Local Group (very creative name, isn't it).
The Local Group is part of the Virgo SuperCluster.

Hello Shawty -

Good question. The Milky Way is part of the Local Group of galaxies, which is near the edge of the Virgo Supercluster. The central region of this cluster can be seen in the Spring around the constellation Virgo - about 40 - 50 million light years away.
