Our superuniverse, Orvonton, is the seventh grand division of the grand universe. Most of the starry realms visible from Earth belong to Orvonton and the vast Milky Way starry system represents its central nucleus.
Orvonton consists of suns, dark islands of space, double stars, globular clusters, star clouds, spiral nebulae, and countless planets. And the spheres of Orvonton are traveling in a vast elongated plane, the breadth being far greater than the thickness and the length far greater than the breadth.
The section also discusses the ten major divisions of Orvonton, eight of which have been roughly identified by astronomers on Earth, while the remaining two are harder to distinguish from our internal vantage point.
The rotational center of Orvonton’s minor sector is located in the dense star cloud of Sagittarius, around which our local universe and its associated creations revolve.
The Andronover nebula, which played a role in the formation of Earth's solar system, is also mentioned.
We hope you enjoy another cosmic conversation on The Urantia Book!
