GO ASTRONOMY | Powers of 10 Light Years in Size - from UY Scuti to the Observable Universe @goastronomy | Uploaded April 2023 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
Using light year powers of 10, we will jump in size from UY Scuti (0.0001 ly) all the way out to the observable universe1 (93 Gly), using the present proper size owing to dark energy expansion. Space is incomprehensibly large:

UY Scuti
red hypergiant
Scutum
~0.0001 ly (53 minutes) diameter
orbit of Jupiter in size

Kuiper Belt
~0.001 ly (8.7 hours) diameter

Abell 1201 galaxy ultramassive black hole
Leo
~0.01 ly (3.6 light-days )diameter

Jewel Bug Nebula
planetary nebula
Cygnus
~0.1 ly (36.5 days) diameter

Fetus Nebula
planetary nebula
Cygnus
~1 ly diameter

Crab Nebula
supernova remnant
~11 ly diameter

Lagoon Nebula
emission nebula
Sagittarius
~110 ly diameter

N44
emission nebula
Large Magellanic Cloud
Dorado
~1000 ly diameter

Smith's Cloud
hydrogen gas
~10,000 ly diameter

Milky Way galaxy
~105,000 ly diameter

ESO 306-17
giant elliptical galaxy
~1 million ly diameter

Local Group
~10 million ly diameter

Virgo Supercluster
~110 million ly diameter

Pisces–Cetus Supercluster Complex
galaxy filament
~1 billion ly diameter

Hercules-Corona-Borealis Great Wall
galaxy group sheet
~10 billion ly diameter

Observable universe
~93 billion ly diameter (present proper distance)

No talking heads or bloviating, just nice 4K imagery set to inspiring music.
