The Hawaii pics are a mindfuck. The subsolar stuff is weird
Some realllly cool illustrations in this one. Awesome stuff.
A little misinformation with The Great Attractor - it's not what we're being pulled to. It may be over ten thousand times the mass of our galaxy, but there's something significantly more massive than it dragging both us [I]and[/I] it near the Shapley Supercluster.
What a fucking entrance

Is that just the gravitational forces between our Local Group and another?
Also considering the velocity of the our galaxy heading toward Andromeda, we've got the macroscopic velocity of ~110km/s.

The rate we're being pulled at exceeds what should just be a local group attraction.
Plus, The Great Attractor isn't a mass of stars. There is no light coming from it. We don't know what it is, but we can confirm there [i]is[/i] something there. So it isn't a stretch to say that the thing pulling both us and The Great Attractor is also something similar.

The thing is, it's not just us. Its everything in our surroundings is being pulled to that area too. Its also what some scientists think is why the Shapely Supercluster is as large as it is.
