Fascinating infos about the newly named Laniakea supercluster of galaxies we belong to - Laniakea could be divided into 3 components, one being the Virgo supercluster which is our neighboorhood but another sub-component from the 3, the Hdyra-Centaurus supercluster includes a mysterious object known as the Great Attractor which affects the movement of our galaxy too... so it behaves as a great mover in our greater cosmic Laniakea neighborhood. A scientist estimates that there could be (at least?) 6000 such Laniakea-sized super (or if you like mega-) clusters in the universe :)
