Our Amazing Universe: (was: This is the Most Detailed Map of the Universe to Date)

So we're the laniakean hillbillies

its mind boggling.

thanks for the pin!

As above, so below fractal universe ... reminds me of a brain.

Video started off incorrect though as our solar system is part of the smaller Sagittarius galaxy (also a pinwheel galaxy) oriented 90 degrees off the Milky Way ecliptic plane). We just happen to be within the Milky Way bands just now but we are on the big midway ferris wheel ride to the heavens!

The Laniakea Supercluster encompasses approximately 100,000 galaxies stretched out over 160 megaparsecs (520 million light-years). It has the approximate mass of 1017 solar masses, or a hundred thousand times that of our galaxy, which is almost the same as that of the Horologium Supercluster. It consists of four subparts, which were known previously as separate superclusters:

Virgo Supercluster, the part in which the Milky Way resides.
Hydra-Centaurus Supercluster
the Great Attractor, the Laniakea central gravitational point near Norma
Antlia Wall, known as Hydra Supercluster
Centaurus Supercluster
Pavo-Indus Supercluster

Southern Supercluster, including Fornax Cluster (S373), Dorado and Eridanus clouds

The most massive galaxy clusters of Laniakea are Virgo, Hydra, Centaurus, Abell 3565, Abell 3574, Abell 3521, Fornax, Eridanus and Norma. The entire supercluster consists of approximately 300 to 500 known galaxy clusters and groups. The real number may be much larger because some of these are traversing the Zone of Avoidance, making them essentially undetectable.

Superclusters are some of the universe's largest structures and have boundaries that are difficult to define, especially from the inside. The team used radio telescopes to map the motions of a large collection of local galaxies. Within a given supercluster, most galaxy motions will be directed inward, toward the center of mass. In the case of Laniakea, this gravitational focal point is called the Great Attractor, and influences the motions of the Local Group of galaxies, where the Milky Way galaxy resides, and all others throughout the supercluster. Unlike its constituent clusters, Laniakea is not gravitationally bound and is projected to be torn apart by dark energy.

There are so many things wrong with this. It would be beyond foolish to believe these lies.

Looking at the who the owner of nature.com is completely shatters any credibility this video may have.

Indeed lol

and the earth is flat......

and the universe is a hologram......

And people who think the earth is flat, have in fact flat brains.

where is the pears?


XD

We live in someone's brain.

It's truly beautiful! Nothing short of breath taking. Spectacular! Splendid

Look at the most overlooked and simplified vestige of humanity...the human eye.

Those who wish to look beyond our existence often tend to do so at their own peril.

Spend time searching the fantastic thing that we call the eye.

It's amazing.

I'm a biochemist so I tend to dote on things that aren't possible without an intelligent design.

I could go on, but feel that the human eye alone is proof that we were designed.

I catch all grades of shit and am constantly in passionate discussions with those who disagree.

I think you're a MORON to assume that your biochemical pathways evolved rather than they were designed.

i agree. rods and cones.

Do you think the eyes are the windows to the soul? What else do you know and think about the human eye? How much information does it hold?

That is truly spectacular

Deep Universe: Hubble's Universe Unfiltered

Take a look at some of the most distant galaxies Hubble has ever seen, and find out why, when we look at the most distant objects in the universe, we are also seeing the cosmos' earliest objects.

The human eye.

The human ear.

So many aspects of humanity that aren't possible without intelligent design.

As a biochemist, I've had this argument with MANY people. They always lose. Our body/biochemsitry is too specific for it to be relegated to chance.

Sorry, but there's no fucking way for us to be born of chance.

Ouch for the bitches that wish to derail me.

I would LOVE people to engage me in debate!!!

Sorry u messdd that bold thing up, maybe a mod can fix it pls?

probably still only .000000000000000000000000000000001% accurate.

Yes...a brain....

maybe we really do live in a simulation....

hmmm...

this is another mind frack:

i love these star size comparisons!



you think the stars are big then you start talking galaxies, clusters, superclusters and beyond!

God's!
