The Sombrero Hat galaxy (M104) and M87, which has a
jagged shaft of light protruding out of it, are two particular galaxies worth
looking at in the Virgo constellation. Both are enigmatic in their own ways.
But further out is where Virgo's real mystery lies.
The Milky Way, the Andromeda galaxy, and about 50 other galaxies make up our
local group, which is the smallest group of galaxies in the universe. The Virgo
Supercluster, which contains about 40,000 members, is made up of the Local Group
and the Local Group in turn.
The Milky Way and everything else are being drawn
towards the Great Attractor, an invisible object beyond all of this, at an
astonishing pace of 14 million miles per hour. How far away is this, what
exactly is it, and what happens when we go there? Nobody is aware.
There is no super-super cluster of galaxies to
account for it, and the largest black hole that is physically possible would
not even come close to being large enough to produce this impact. The only
thing left is the possibility of an unnamed power.
