The Great Attractor


The Great Attractor




So basically, the great attractor is a force of about 600 km/Sec pulling us away from the earth. The concentration of mass is about ten thousands times more massive than the milky way. It's located approximately 150 to 250 million light years. That's the reason we don't fly off this planet. The Great Attractor can has an effect of pulling every objet within ONE MILLION LIGHT YEARS away! It's mass is so big that the force of gravity is just enormous. We are not able to see it because  the plane of our universe in blocking its radiation. 


This is the a picture of the region of the sky where the great attractor is located.


Fun Fact: Currently, there’s one super cluster known as Shapley Supercluster which is millions of times massive than our milky way galaxy. (1000 times bigger than the Great Attractor)
