Mapping Clusters of Galaxies

A new technique of mapping clusters of galaxies using the direction in which they are moving, creates a new look at superclusters of galaxies. Galaxies clump together into clusters and clusters of galaxies clump together into supergalaxies. The name given to our supercluster is Laniakea, which is Hawaiian for “immeasurable heaven”.
