TechRivet has posted something like this before, but not quite this exhaustive or complete a graphic.  This one shows the absolute distance in a logarithmic scale for objects ranging from the ISS to the Sloan Great Wall of Galaxies.

You therefore end up with objects in close proximity by absolute distance that are in opposite directions from the Earth.  Such as the “Extent of Milky Way disk” and the “Milky Way Center”.

Never-the-less it is a fascinating chart to peruse. [link]
