Infinity Stones

The Infinity Stones were a group of six fluorescent stones created by the Celestials to represent six different aspects of the universe—space, reality, power, mind, time, and the soul.Formation of Existence
The Stones were placed in different parts of the Milky Way galaxy, and ended up with different individuals. Loki's tesseract contained the Space Stone, the Reality and Mind Stones ended up in Asgard, the Power Stone was trapped within the Orb and later was a part of the Cosmic Rod, the Time Stone was part of the Eye of Agamotto kept by the Masters of the Mystic Arts in Nepal, and the Soul Stone ended up on Vormir away from any prying eyes.
Ultimately, these stones were taken by Thanos who used them in the Infinity Gauntlet to wipe out half of the Milky Way galaxy—he believed that it was half of the entire universe, however the Celestials had made sure the Stones' power was exclusive to one single galaxy. This mass extinction was short-lived, however, as the Avengers reversed the powers of the stone and returned the galaxy to normal, even if Thanos did escape.
