‘The great attractor’: Astronomers discover force driving galaxies in common direction
Scientists studying space uncover the colossal gravitational anomaly, The Great Attractor, pulling galaxies at 600 km/s. The unseen force is located in the Zone of Avoidance, hidden by our galaxy and cosmic dust. The discovery poses a mystery for scientists investigating its nature. Edwin Hubble's redshift observation reveals an expanding universe where galaxies move away from each other. The Milky Way belongs to the Laniakea Supercluster, a vast cosmic congregation of around 100,000 galaxies. The Great Attractor serves as a central gravitational focal point for our local universe, but the ongoing expansion will eventually cause galaxies to drift apart.
