According to (Zia God energy theory) Article # 2 , the universe has no end, no edge, no boundary, no limit. It is an endless universe. To get an idea of the extent of the universe, it is better to know about the speed of light and the units used in measuring the celestial objects in the universe.
Speed of light = 299,792.455 km/sec or 1 light-year = 9.46 x1012km
The Universe is made up of many celestial objects like, comets, moons, planets and stars. Stares grouped into galaxies, galaxies into clusters, clusters into super-clusters and so on.
Moon: Moon is the 2nd brightest object after the sun in the sky. It is the only largest natural satellite of the earth in the solar system. Reflected sunlight from the moon reaches the earth in about 1.25 seconds. Moon is the only place in our solar system where a man landed on July 20, 1969. Neil Armstrong was the first man who set foot on the moon.
Sun: It is the 1st closest star to earth. Its light reaches the earth in 500 seconds.
Proxima Centauri is the 2nd nearest star to earth. Its light reaches us in 4.2 light years.
Barnard’s Star is the 3rd closest star to the earth, visible in the night sky to the naked eye. Its light reaches us in 6 light years. Ross Star is about 10 light years away from us.
Note: As explained in article # 2, (Zia God energy theory), the stars were formed from the hydrogen dust in space and each star is like a dust particle in a ray coming through the window in a dark room.
Constellation: It is a group of stars that forms a pattern, when seen from the earth. The stars are divided into 88 constellations. The one with the greatest numbers of stars is Centaurus (101) stars, and the largest one is Hydra (extends 3% of the sky)
Galaxy: It is a collection of billions of stars. There are billions of galaxies in the universe.
Milky way Galaxy: Our solar system is a part of Milky Way spiral galaxy, containing over 200 billion of stars, 96% in the form of stars and 4%in the form of interstellar gas, 100 ,000 light-years across and the center of it is 26 ,000 light –year away from earth.
Andromeda Galaxy: 2.5 million light years, away from earth. Triangulum Galaxy: 3.0 million light years, away from earth.
Cluster: Galaxies are grouped in galaxy clusters. The largest nearby cluster of galaxies is the Virgo Cluster. The Virgo Cluster contains about a thousand galaxies, about 65 million light years away.
Super cluster Super clusters are the clusters of galaxy clusters. The Coma Super cluster is roughly spherical, about 20 million light-years in diameter and contains more than 3,000 galaxies. The total number of super clusters in the universe is believed to be close to 10 million.
Great Wall: Great Wall is one of largest known superstructures in the observable universe, measuring about 10 billion light years in length. It includes Hercules super clusters, the coma super clusters etc.

Distence
It is hard to give an exact distance for a Super cluster, because the galaxy clusters within it are often millions of light years from each other!
The Coma Super cluster is about 300 million light years away from us.
300 million light years is = 2,838,000,000,000,000,000,000 km.
Visible Universe: The diameter of the visible universe which in the range of the largest telescope is 93 billion light years. I believe that there is no limit, no edge, no border and no end of the universe as explained in Zia God energy theory. The 93 billion light years diameter mentioned could be the range of the largest telescope, not the actual diameter of the universe. Just assume that the universe has a boundary, then what is outside it?
