The Milky Way could be part of a much larger 'cosmic neighborhood' than we realized, challenging our understanding of the universe
A probabilistic new map of the universe surrounding the Milky Way reveals that our galaxy is likely part of an even larger "basin of attraction" than we previously assumed.
Huge Megastructure We Live In Revealed in a New Map of the Universe
Our Galaxy Appears To Be Part Of Structure So Large It Challenges Our Models Of Cosmology
The tiny red dot is us.

Cosmography Update
A 3D map of basins of attractions in the Local Universe, inferred from Cosmicflows-4 and based on a probabilistic approach, gives new insights on our cosmic whereabouts. We have not reached the "End of Greatness" yet!
