Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Laniakea Supercluster of galaxies contains thousands of galaxies that includes our Milky Way Galaxy, the Local Group of galaxies, and the entire nearby Virgo Cluster of Galaxies.
The colossal supercluster is shown in the above computer-generated visualization, where green areas are rich with white-dot galaxies and white lines indicate motion towards the supercluster center. An outline of Laniakea is given in orange, while the blue dot shows our location. Outside the orange line, galaxies flow into other galactic concentrations. The Laniakea Supercluster spans about 500 million light years and contains about 100,000 times the mass of our Milky Way Galaxy. The discoverers of Laniakea gave it a name that means "immense heaven" in Hawaiian.
Русский: Сверхскопление Ланиакея содержит тысячи галактик, включая нашу галактику Млечный Путь, Местную группу галактик и ближайшее скопление Девы целиком.
Изображение представляет собой компьютерную модель; белыми точками обозначены отдельные галактики, а белыми линиями - направление движения к центру сверхскопления. Синяя точка - положение нашей галактики. Оранжевая линия - граница Ланиакеи, за её пределами галактические потоки направлены в сторону других сгущений масс. Сверхскопление Ланиакея имеет массу порядка 100 000 масс нашей галактики и размер порядка 500 миллионов световых лет. |
