The new 3D map developed by Tully and colleagues shows that the Milky Way galaxy resides in the outskirts of the Laniakea Supercluster, which is about 520 million light-years wide.

Welcome to Laniakea, your home: Stunning new 3D map reveals gigantic super-cluster of galaxies that contains our own Milky Way. Word means 'immeasurable heaven' in Hawaiian ...

But as Tully and his colleagues found, and as the map above shows, this Virgo Supercluster is just part of a much, much bigger supercluster — Laniakea. (The name, aptly enough, means ...

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 ...

New Map Locates Milky Way in Neighborhood of 100,000 Galaxies. Astronomers have defined a huge group of galaxies called a supercluster, now named Laniakea, with the Milky Way on its fringes.

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.

With the new data we now have a complete map of the boundary of our basin of attraction. It extends across 500 million light-years and includes 100,000 substantial galaxies. It has been given the name ...

An international team of astronomers has defined the contours of the immense supercluster of galaxies containing our own Milky Way. They have named the supercluster 'Laniakea,' meaning 'immense ...

This is literally true of the first example from his book, a map of the Laniakea Supercluster, a collection of more than 100,000 galaxies including the Milky Way.The red dot marks Earth’s ...

Jul 20, 2020: Astronomers map massive structure beyond Laniakea Supercluster (Nanowerk News) For the past decade, an international team of astronomers, led in part by Brent Tully at the University of ...

The Laniakea supercluster, described in a paper published in this week's Nature, is 500 million light-years in diameter and contains 100,000 galaxies - and we sit at the very edge of it.
