LANIAKEA A TRIP THROUGH SPACE

LANIAKEA

FACTS ABOUT LANIAKEA -JUST DISCOVERED BY ASTRONOMERS -10,000 GALAXIES -SUPERCLUSTER -CONTAINS GALAXIES AND SOLAR SYSTEMS(INCLUDING OURS) -106-105 LIGHT YEARS AWAY -OVER 100,000 STARS

PERSEUS PICES

PERSEUS PICES -SUPERCLUSTER -SHARES SAME ATTRACTOR AS LANIAKEA -SECOND BIGGEST SUPERCLUSTER BEHEIND LANIAKEA -MOST OBVIOUS VOID IN THE SKY

A TRIP THROUGH TIME IN SPACE

TIME IN SPACE -IT WOULD TAKE 37,200 YEARS TO TRAVEL A LIGHT YEAR -A LIGHT YEAR:186,00 MILES PER SECOND -IF LIGHT COULD BEND IT WOULD GO AROUND EARTH 7 TIMES IN A SECOND -TO GET TO THE EDGE OF LANIAKEA IN A SHIP IT WOULD TAKE 1,000,000 YEARS

FUN FACTS -LANIAKEA WAS FOUND IN SEPTEMBER 2014 -VIRGO CLUSTER CLOSE TO US -WE ARE IN LANIAKEA -SPREADS 520 LIGHT YEARS -FOUND WITH PUCULIER MOVEMENT -LANIAKEA MEANS UNMEASURERIBLE HEAVEN
