The map successively reproduced known prominent structures in the local universe, including the "local sheet" -- a region of space containing the Milky Way, nearby galaxies in the "local group ...

By mapping the velocities of galaxies throughout our local universe, the team can define the region of space where each ...

This Local Group is centred around the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies. At least 54 galaxy groups and clusters have been found within its diameter which is thought to be around 10 mega-light ...

A new map of a giant group of galaxies known as the Laniakea Supercluster is giving scientists a revealing glimpse of our Milky Way galaxy's home in the universe. See it here.

From there, the map radiates outwards into space and time, from the present in our local area right back to 13.7 billion light-years away – i.e., 13.7 billion years ago.

Our local supercluster spans 10 times the diameter of the Local Group, gathering smaller groups and clusters of galaxies together into a galactic megacity. Skip to content Introducing the all-new ...

The approximately 85 gravitationally bound galaxies near the Milky Way are collectively known as the Local Group. This population of galaxies, spread over roughly 10 million light-years ...

Our Milky Way Galaxy is one of three large galaxies in the Local Group of Galaxies. The other large galaxies are the Andromeda Galaxy, and Messier 33 (the 33rd entry in Charles Messier's catalog ...

The Milky Way Galaxy, for instance, is part of what is called the Local Group, which contains upwards of 54 galaxies, covering a diameter of 10 megalight-years (10 million light-years).

Toronto, Ontario (CTV Network) — There’s now a way for everyone who has ever dreamed of being an astronaut to view the universe from the comfort of their home: an interactive map of the known ...
