I've always had an interest in this. They say two attractors instead of one. <br /><br />I'm not sure what they mean here. <blockquote><font class="small">In reply to:</font><hr /><p>What they found was a "significant concentration of galaxies" pulling the Milky Way, 500 million light-years from Earth, four times the distance of the Great Attractor.<p><hr /></p></p></blockquote><br /><br /><br />It would be much more interseting to know what direction the attrators are going. My guess is that they are moving in the same direction faster than the Milky Way is in relation to the CMBR.<br /><br />
