Thin loops of ultra dense engery, far narrower than the nucleus of an atom but stretching across vast distances, left over from the Big Bang and acting as gravitational 'seeds' on which the galaxies grew.
A piece of cosmic string just a mile long would weigh as much as the Earth. A cosmic string that stretched right across the universe could be scrunched up into a ball smaller than a single atom, but would weigh as much as a supercluster of galaxies.

Get the Cosmic Stringmug. A swarm of stars held together by gravity, like our own Milky Way. A typical galaxy may contain a hundred billion stars like our Sun.
In the clear night sky, if you're lucky not to have much light pollution, you can still see the Milky Way, our galaxy.

Get the Siriusmug. The hypothesis in which our universe turns out to be one among an enormous number of seperate and distinct universes that have evolved down though the aeons. Most universes are dead and uninteresting. Only a tiny subset do the laws of physics promote the emergence of stars, planets and life.
There is nothing special about the status of our universe within the infinity of universes that constitute the multiverse.
