The Even GREATER Attractor #Shorts

Around 250 million light years from Earth, we find a giant concentration of galaxies known as the Norma Cluster, which is attracting the Milky Way galaxy with its gravity like the leaves of a plant. But in 2005, it became apparent that the Norma Cluster is not the only thing influencing the Milky Way...

Every time I see one of these videos come up I hope it's a full-length video

My mind can’t get around the great attractor pulling us toward it, but the expansion of space also pushing everything apart.

400 miles per second is super slow. Quite fast in terms of orbital speeds but if you saw a to-scale replica of the motion it would not seem to be that fast

One of the best voices on one of the best channels online.

Our minds and perspectives are far too limited to grasp a representation of space that forms any admissible theoretical pretext, it’s merely imagination. But awesome videos like these certainly fuel our level of understanding.

[windowboy]

Will the expansion of the universe start to reverse the movement towards the supercluster one day?

It s the Space Maid from Spaceballs, cleaning up the great green Arkleseizure.

There's a "yo mama" joke to be made here somewhere...

[vazap]

Beautiful analogy with the house plant. Love it.

[krymsun]

It’s still fascinating to think about what it might be, even though we will never reach it.

[NYN_]

We are nothing compared to Universe to claim anything!

[koharumi]

A house plant is too far away to ever reach it 😂😂

[neIntangible]

Wonder what life is like inside one of those superclusters.

[aamirrazak]

Like a cosmic magnet drawing galaxies toward itself

[skateboardingjesus]

As black as my soul, empty as my head, yet still attractive.

[S_sOs_S]

Inside Solar System, speed of Earth is 30km/s
Inside Milky Way, speed of Sun is 200 km/s
and now comes this, speed of Milky Way inside this cluster or supercluster is 650km/s

[RobertSimpson-wppr]

This sounds great, however none of us will be around, thus what's it really matter?

[muammer]

Am i the only GD player here in sea1997's channel

[gutika]

Flat earthers heads are exploding while they watch this video haha

[theghostofsabertache]

And all will be conquered in the name of the Imperium of Man
IN THE NAME OF THE EMPEROR!!!!
