Re: The great Attractor
I'm reading an article in Ciel et Espace about the Galactic flows that exist in the Universe. There are 7 galaxies (like M31) that show a blueshift (the local group); all the others show a redshift.But all galaxies seem to follow various currents. Galaxies seem to regroup in sort of islands in the middle cosmic rivers.
Virgo (a cluster of several hundreds of galaxies) has an elongated shape, with a direction which is also the one most of its galaxies prefere (like M87) and which aims towards the Great Attractor.
