Unfamiliar beings, are you receiving my communication?
Our domain is of the planet Earth, whose location I will confer to you as follows.
If you can extrapolate our location from an image containing a map of us in relative space, then please use the following resource.
Send the following text to internet network address 208.80.152.3, port 80, TCP protocol.

You will receive a large transmission of binary data. This transmission is encoded in the JPEG image compression technique. It is a two-dimensional pictorial representation of our relative location in the universe. You may be able to extrapolate our coordinates from that.
We are in the Virgo supercluster, which has a diameter measuring the distance light travels in 110,000,000 years.
We are in the "Local Group", with a diameter of 10,000,000 years of light travel, among the Andromeda, Triangulum and Milky Way Galaxies.
We are within the Milky Way, a barred spiral galaxy that's 100,000 years of light travel across its diameter, and 1,000 light-years across its width. It contains 1–4×10^11 stars.
We are located within the Orion Arm, a minor spiral arm of the Milky Way galaxy some 3,500 light years across and approximately 10,000 light years in length.
We are located in the Gould Belt, a partial ring of stars about 3,000 light years across, tilted toward the galactic plane by about 16 to 20 degrees.
We are located in the Local Bubble, a cavity in the interstellar medium that is sparse, at about 0.05 atoms of hydrogen per cubic centimeter, and is hot enough to emit X-rays.
We are in the Local Interstellar Cloud, a region about 30 light-years across, whose interstellar medium is at 6,000 degrees Celsius.
We are in the Solar System of Sol, a planetary-stellar system containing the planets of Mercury, Venus, Terra (also called Earth, our planet of residence), Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Four of the planets are terrestrial, made up of solid rock; the other four are Jovian planets, comprised mainly of condensed gases.
We are the only terrestrial planet with blue waters and green forests.
We are the third planet from the Sun, our central star.
We are the only known planet in our solar system with life.
Our planet, Terra, or Earth, has an atmosphere made up of roughly two-thirds nitrogen, about a quarter oxygen, and the remainder being carbon dioxide, methane, Argon, Krypton, and other gases.
The surface is primarily comprised of water (H2O - two hydrogen and one oxygen atom), and land, which is a material mostly made up of silicate, silicon oxides, and aluminum minerals.
If you need any further assistance in locating our domain, please query us through this channel of communication.
Attached is another map, containing the location of the Virgo Supercluster, and our home, at the center.
