Open Great Attractor region in the live scene → The scene composes a position for any date and is where a figure becomes a picture. It downloads the whole catalogue first: measured against the built product, an object outside the core resolves after about 16 s over a local network and about 147 s over a 4 Mbit link, having transferred roughly 70 MB. If you cannot wait that long, this page is the answer.

Each row carries its own uncertainty and its own source. Where a row says no uncertainty is published, that is what the catalogue says — it is not a claim that the value is exact.

Large-scale structure — flow-convergence region. cz = 4350 km/s → z = 0.01451; comoving distance MODELLED from z (flat ΛCDM, Planck 2018: H0 67.7, Ωm 0.31) → ~64 Mpc — a comoving distance is where the object sits NOW in the model, not how far its light travelled, so dividing it by c does not give a light-travel time. Anchor: the paper's own fit, verbatim: "a great attractor centered on l = 307, b = 9 at a distance of Rm = 4350 ± 350 km/s" [Lynden-Bell et al. 1988]. Extent: excess mass ~5.4×10¹⁶ M☉ (the flow fit's value). The classical convergence of local peculiar-velocity flows, inferred from elliptical-galaxy streaming (the "seven samurai"). Modern cosmography resolves it as the Norma/Centaurus core of Laniakea. [Lynden-Bell et al. 1988]

| Coverage | 14 landmark structures above the galaxy-cluster scale — superclusters (Laniakea · Virgo/Local · Shapley · Perseus-Pisces · Pisces-Cetus complex), walls (CfA2 · Sloan · South Pole · the contested Hercules-Corona Borealis, shown with its published rebuttal), voids (Boötes · Local · KBC) + the Great Attractor and the Huge-LQG. Distances from z/cz are MODELLED through the flat-ΛCDM door (Planck 2018) and labelled; cosmological recession is the expansion of space, not motion through space — no drift is modelled |
