The Great Attractor is a region of gravitational attraction in intergalactic space and the apparent central gravitational point of the Laniakea Supercluster of galaxies that includes the Milky Way galaxy, as well as about 100,000 other galaxies.

2016年7月29日 · Something in the deep reaches of space is pulling Earth's galactic neighborhood toward it. What is this so-called Great Attractor and will it eventually swallow up our cosmic home?

2014年7月14日 · Our galaxy and other nearby galaxies are being pulled toward a specific region of space. It’s about 150 million light years away, and here is the best part. We’re not exactly sure what it is....

2024年5月2日 · It is not a supermassive celestial body, but rather a volume of space that embodies the center of attraction for all matter. The Great Attractor is located in the vicinity of the Norma Super Cluster. It is the bottom of the basin where every blob of matter and dust ends up being aggregated.

2024年5月1日 · But in the 1970s, astrophysicists noticed something strange about our galactic neighborhood, or Local Group. The whole clump of neighboring galaxies was being pulled off course at over one million...

Congratulations: you’re now some 3,000km (1,864 miles) from where you were when closed them, thanks to the gravitational pull of the Great Attractor. This is a region of intergalactic space, 150-250 million lightyears from Earth, that's slowly drawing the Milky Way and thousands of other galaxies closer towards it.

2016年5月31日 · The hidden attractor. Could our own Milky Way be moving through space like an edge-on spinning disc, obscuring the very source of a distant gravitational attractor?

2025年1月22日 · Great Attractor, proposed concentration of mass that influences the movement of many galaxies, including the Milky Way. In 1986 a group of astronomers observing the motions of the Milky Way and neighbouring galaxies noted that the galaxies were moving toward the Hydra-Centaurus superclusters in the

2023年12月19日 · The Great Attractor, rather than anything to be afraid of, is where our local galaxies are heading to hang out, the central gravitational point of our local area of the universe.

2024年2月23日 · Experts dubbed it the Great Attractor, a region of the universe that shows gravitational anomaly. It is not a supermassive cosmic object but rather a volume of space that contains the center...
