Revealing Hidden Cosmic Flows through the Zone of Avoidance with Deep Learning

3D visualization of the mean density and peculiar velocity fields in supergalactic coordinates. The isosurfaces represent the mean density field across 1,000 realizations, with three levels highlighting different density thresholds. Streamlines depict the mean peculiar velocity field, also averaged over 1,000 realizations. Tiny purple spheres mark the positions of Great Attractor (GA) candidates. Tiny grey spheres indicate the positions of streamline endpoints that were not identified as GA, where the streamlines terminated at the box limits. The orientation and scale of the visualization are shown by the SGX, SGY, and SGZ axes, represented by red, green, and blue arrows at the observer’s position (the cube center), each with a length of 10 Mpc/h.

Ja, heute ist fung...Moment! Bevor es ans Kochen und Essen geht, gibt es heute 1 andere Mission: Und um den schlechten Knüttelversen treu zu bleiben: sunday morning - drum recording.
Auch wenn die Banner auf #Nosturaack deuten, lassen wir den Schwarzmetal heute zu Hause. Die Aufnahmen gelten dem ersten Album meines Doom #Rock -Projekts #laniakea .

Our #Galaxy Appears To Be Part Of A Structure So Large It Challenges Current Models Of #Cosmology
As we study the universe more, we have found ourselves to be part of much larger structures, formed by gravitational interactions.
Local Group is on the outer edge of the Virgo Supercluster, which is itself part of a giant basin known as #Laniakea. According to the new study, Laniakea too resides within a larger "basin of attraction" (BoA), potentially 10 times its volume.

🎂 OTD 2014: publication of the discovery of Laniakea

"A map of the local Universe has enabled researchers to find the boundaries of Earth's home supercluster, which they name Laniakea."

A screenshot of Nature's frontpage with headline reading "Laniakea, a supercluster to call home"

#KnowledgeBit: #Laniakea is the name of the supercluster of galaxies that contains our Milky Way galaxy. It's a vast structure, over 100 times larger than the previously defined supercluster.

In Hawaiian, "Laniakea" means "immeasurable heaven".

#DidYouKnow: A #Supercluster is a large group of smaller galaxy clusters or galaxy groups; they are among the largest known structures in the universe.

The #MilkyWay is part of the Local Group galaxy group (which contains more than 54 galaxies), which in turn is part of the Virgo Supercluster, which is part of the #Laniakea Supercluster.

The number of superclusters in the observable universe is estimated to be 10 million.

A cover of the Nature Journal, dated 4 September 2014, volume 513, issue number 7516, featuring a colorful map of the basin of attraction inside which our galaxy the Milky Way is located. This structure is roughly shaped like a heart, inside which thousands of very thin flowlines are seen converging onto a unique attractor. A particular spot in the periphery of this object is pinpointed with a label that reads "YOU ARE HERE". Outside of this structure, more flowlines converge on separate, neighbor attractors. White speckles peperred across the whole scene represent positions of galaxies. A title reads Laniakea, with a subtitle reading The galaxy supercluster that includes the Milky Way. Three other research papers in various science areas are mentioned in the lower section of the cover.

A cover of the Nature Astronomy journal, dated December 2024, Volume 8, issue number 12, featuring a three-dimensional visualization of the cosmic velocity field inferred from the Cosmicflows-4 catalog of galaxies' distances and velocities. This map spans two billion lightyears from top to bottom. The velocity field is mapped by means of tens of thousands of very thin streamlines, seeded at the positions of the catalog's galaxies. Streamlines are shown white and semi-transparent, against a black background. They exhibit a very complex pattern with multiple attractors, seen as points of convergence of the lines. A text reads Galaxies from wherever flock together.

Don't call it crisis, call it opportunity! Here is the December edition of the (German-speaking) science magazine "bild der wissenschaft" with a cover story about the challenges of our current #cosmology model: https://www.wissenschaft.de/bdw-hefte-specials/aktuelles-heft/
...including a one-page interview with me on our community paper!
Check it out, it's a great read!! 🤩

A rendering of the three-dimensional envelope delineating the basin of attraction inside which our galaxy the Milky Way is located. The envelope is rendered with a semi-transparent blueish surface inside which are displayed thousands of very thin flowlines rendered in gold color, that are seen converging onto a unique attractor. A particular spot in the periphery of this object is pinpointed with a label that reads "WE ARE HERE". The scene is rendered against a colorful background image of a numerical simulation of the cosmic web, made of filaments, voids and knots, typical of the distribution of matter on cosmological scales. This visualization is entitled "The Laniakea Supercluster" and a text reads "Among the largest known structures in the Universe, superclusters are large groups of smaller galaxy clusters. Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is part of the Local Group, which itself is part of the Virgo Supercluster, which in turn belongs to the Laniakea Supercluster. The Laniakea Supercluster extends more than 500 million light-years and contains the mass of hundred million billion stars, grouped in over 100,000 large galaxies."

An infographic poster entitled "The Universe", featuring a colorful rendition of the Cosmic Web, that is, the three-dimensional network of filaments, voids and knots characterizing the distribution of matter on cosmological scales. In the center, a particular region is encircled, pinpointed and labelled "Laniakea". The infography also offers several levels of insets with explanations, context and graphics on some aspects of the physics at work.

Via Lattea è parte di un super ammasso di galassie. Laniakea non basta più, la nostra galassia è parte di ‘qualcosa’ di molto più grande. Un nuovo studio suggerisce che Laniakea, il nostro 'continente galattico' non è in realtà altro che un'appendice della concentrazione di Shapley, una struttura dieci volte più grande
Finora erano i confini di Laniakea, il nostro enorme “continente galattico“...
