SPACE — The largest single entity that scientists have identified in the universe is a supercluster of galaxies called the Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall. It is so vast that light takes around 10 billion years to travel through its entire structure.
To illustrate, the universe is only 13.8 billion years old. Our solar system is very small compared to the scale of the Great Wall of Hercules-Corona Borealis.
The Great Wall of Hercules-Corona Borealis is known as the largest cluster in the universe. The following are the very large or largest objects around the Solar System:
The biggest planet: Jupiter, its width is about 142,984 km, about 11 times the diameter of Earth.
The biggest moon: Ganymede.
Ganymede orbits Jupiter, is about 5,268 km in diameter and is slightly larger than the planet Mercury.
The highest mountain: Olympus Mons on Mars, approximately 25 km high, three times the height of Mount Everest on Earth.
The biggest canyon: Valles Marineris on Mars, more than 3,000 km long, 600 km wide and 8 km deep. Canyon or canyon is a steep valley formed by the flow of a river.
The largest crater: Utopia Planitia on Mars, which is estimated to be 3,300 km in diameter. The location was the general landing area for the Viking 2 spacecraft which landed there in 1976.
Largest asteroid: Vesta, which is 530 km wide. It is located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
Largest dwarf planet: Pluto with a diameter of 2,370 km.
Pluto was previously thought to be smaller than the dwarf planet Eris, but measurements of Pluto were confirmed at close range by the New Horizons spacecraft in 2015.
