I recently watched a 15 minute YT video about the issues of cosmology awaiting more data from the James Webb satellite and the problems with current theories concerning the size and expansion rate of the universe: search for Dr. Becky Smethurst and "New study just made the "crisis in cosmology" WORSE". At about the 7:30 minute point is a depiction of the Lanaikea super super galaxy cluster. This is one of a few such super clusters being observed and measured. Apparently they tend to "wrap around" each other and partially block seeing portions of their "neighboring" peers. But these are galaxies, not discrete star systems! The Milky Way galaxy is in the Virgo cluster (mid upper right in the display) of several thousand galaxies, itself a subset of the Virgo Super Cluster, in turn a smallish subset of the Lanaikea designation.
[This video is now 9 days old, and I see she has a new one 2 days old that may include results from the JWST!]
Somewhat OT, but speaking of transcendence:
