Did you mean universe? Our galaxy is a spec of dust. Our local galaxy cluster is also just a spec of dust. For how large the universe is - even a supercluster is a spec of dust. The universe is mind boggingly massive.
The observable universe has an estimated diameter of 93 billion light-years. A few million years might be enough to explore nearby galaxies. For example, to explore just our Local Supercluster you would need approximately 65,000,000 years [0]. Travelling at the speed of light.
