"Our Milky Way galaxy is speeding through the emptiness of space at 600 kilometers per second, headed toward something we cannot clearly see. The focal point of that movement is the Great Attractor, the product of billions of years of cosmic evolution. But we'll never reach our destination because, in a few billion years, the accelerating force of dark energy will tear the Universe apart."

As our understanding of the largest scale of the universe is improving, many mysteries remain, some of which are touched on in the interview with professor Brent Tully from the University of Hawaii’s Institute of Astronomy.

: A is a large group of smaller galaxy clusters or galaxy groups; they are among the largest known structures in the universe.

The is part of the Local Group galaxy group (which contains more than 54 galaxies), which in turn is part of the Virgo Supercluster, which is part of the Supercluster.

The number of superclusters in the observable universe is estimated to be 10 million.

Welcome to Laniakea, your galactic supercluster home

Meet Laniakea, a really big, beautiful supercluster of galaxies that also holds the Milky Way, writes reporter Amina Khan for the Los Angeles Times: web.archive.org/web/2014090521

“This is what I’ve been doing for a long time, trying to understand where we live” said R. Brent Tully, lead author of the study published in Nature.

Lani and the Web

This video map shows how the basin of attraction of Laniakea, at the heart of which is the Great Attractor, is embedded within the Cosmic Web. Several filament (in grey) intersect with the Laniakea frontier surface, on their way to adjacent nodes of the web (in red).

On Air: Hawai'i Public Radio broadcasting The Conversition with astronomer R. Brent Tully, on Local Supercluster Orbits Mapped

Our home galaxy of the Milky Way resides in a “supercluster” of more than 100,000 other galaxies. The orbits of those galaxies have been mapped for the first time.

"A new map of the Milky Way's cosmic neighborhood shows where our galaxy lives in relation to thousands of others nearby, with scientists giving the newly discovered "supercluster" of galaxies a name: Laniakea, which means "immeasurable heaven" in Hawaiian."
