When we look at an even larger region of galaxies, we find that the local galaxies and the Great Attractor are moving toward something even larger. It\u2019s known as the Shapley Supercluster. It contains more than 8000 galaxies and has a mass of more than ten million billion Suns. The Shapley Supercluster is, in fact, the most massive galaxy cluster within a billion light years, and we and every galaxy in our corner of the Universe are moving toward it.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.universetoday.com\/113150\/what-is-the-great-attractor\/\">https:\/\/www.universetoday.com\/113150\/what-is-the-great-attractor\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While the Norma Cluster is massive, and local galaxies are moving toward it, it doesn\u2019t explain the full motion of local galaxies.
