Laniakea galaxy cluster oil on canvas painting

The Laniakea Supercluster is the galaxy supercluster that is home to the Milky Way and approximately 100,000 other nearby galaxies.

Illustration of the supercluster, Laniakea (yellow), which includes our own Milky Way. Scientists at the University of Hawaii have examined the velocities of galaxies in unprecedented detail, showing in the process that Laniakea is much bigger than originally thought. It weighs in at 100 million billion solar masses and spans over 500 million light-years of extragalactic space. Each dot in this image is a galaxy - 100, 000 in all - each containing in turn millions to trillions of stars. The contour lines are velocity flows: they indicate the direction that galaxies are moving through the supercluster under the combined gravity of all of that matter. The red dot shows the location of the Milky Way, our own galaxy, on the edge of the super...

The Great Attractor is a purported gravitational attraction in intergalactic space and the apparent central gravitational point of the Laniakea Supercluster of galaxies. This supercluster contains the Milky Way galaxy, as well as about 100,000 other galaxies. The observed attraction suggests a localized concentration of mass millions of times more massive than the Milky Way. However, it is inconveniently obscured by the Milky Way's galactic plane, lying behind the Zone of Avoidance (ZOA), so that in visible light wavelengths, the Great Attractor is difficult to observe directly.[1]
