Cosmic Vortex

Added: 2026-06-01

[00:00:00]Galaxies are being pulled towards a region of space known as the Great Attractor, a cosmic vortex that's dragging our galaxy and many others at a speed of over 600 km per second.

[00:00:11]This phenomenon is observed in the distribution of galaxy clusters and superclusters, which are forming a vast network of cosmic structures.

[00:00:20]The Great Attractor is a region of space that's dominated by dark matter, a mysterious form of matter that's invisible to our telescopes.

[00:00:28]As galaxies move towards the Great Attractor, they're accelerating and their light is being stretched, a phenomenon known as redshift.

[00:00:36]The Great Attractor is a massive region, spanning over 250 million light-years across, and it's still growing as more galaxies are being pulled into its cosmic grasp.

[00:00:48]Cosmic structures are being shaped by this phenomenon, and it's reshaping our understanding of the universe.
