Meet Laniakea, our supercluster. From the Hawaiian words for "immeasurable heaven," this new data forced scientists to redraw the boundaries of the cosmic map, and it redefine our home supercluster.

Now for the first time, astronomers have constructed a map of the local universe. They’ve named our home supercluster Laniakea, Hawaiian for “immeasurable heaven.” The work was published in ...

The new map shows beautiful feathery strings linked together with the Milky Way galaxy placed on the edge of the newly named Laniakea supercluster, home to 100,000 other galaxies. We’ve seen the ...
