Laniakea Supercluster | The Immeasurable Heaven

We live in the Milky Way, a barred spiral galaxy. It has 100 to 400 billion stars and spans about 150 to 200 kly. It lies in the Local Group, along with the Andromeda and Triangulum and other 51 galaxies.

The Laniakea Supercluster encompasses approximately 100,000 galaxies; and is stretched out over 160 megaparsecs or 520 million light years. It has the approximate mass of 10¹⁷ solar masses.

It consists of four subparts, which were known previously as separate superclusters. The entire supercluster consists of approximately 300 to 500 known galaxy clusters and groups. More of them may be present along the direction of the Zone of Avoidance. The Great Attractor lies towards Laniakea's central gravitational point near Norma.

Some of Laniakea's neighbors are Shapley Supercluster, Hercules Supercluster, Coma Supercluster and Perseus-Pisces Supercluster. All these are part of the Pisces-Cetus Supercluster Complex.

The mass of the Laniakea Supercluster is of the order 10^17, not 10^71 (as shown in this video at 1:10). Sorry for the mistake😅

It can't be just me that thinks the Supercluster picture looks like the neural connections in a brain, right? What else flows between the galaxies? Electricity, like neural synapses and the electrochemical flow of thought. 🤔

Great job!
This is a very well done video.

this gives whole new meaning to ashes to ashes dust to dust !!

Beautiful Video..Intresting Info And Awesome Animations..Keep Going👏👏🔭

Cool just show how vast space is and there must be other life forms that exist

Excellent work, subscribed and shared~

Wow thats amzing whats byond lanika superculster what other supercluster nearby lainkia supercluster

[-phantasm-]

Yet, we still can't even travel to the nearest star (Proxima Centauri)... or we can, but it will take about 40.000 years.

Galaksi Bima sakti sja bagai debu di alam semesta ini yg menyimpan milyar bintang dan planet bumi kita serta bulan apalagi Duni yg kita pijat..sungguh yg mha kuasa mha besar

Clusters are overpowered by superclusters.... Supercluster are overpowered by Whom???

[nickgreen]

Words fail.

Sometimes I think this is a good way to imagine the scale of the universe - based on just our Milky Way galaxy.

If light years were years, then our nearest star (in 2020) would be the year 2016. But the centre of the Milky Way would be around 25, 000 BC, i.e. the late Stone Age.

The far side of the Milky Way would be the Middle Palaeolithic.

The music fits perfectly. Also how can we be alone? Seems impossible

Cool video, but I don't think the mass of laniakea could be 10^71 solar masses..

schon irre wieviel nichts zwischen dem bissl materie da draussen im universum vorhanden ist. nur noch komischer ist, wie wichtig sich der mensch angesichts dessen dennoch nimmt ;)
